Do swimmers have a prayer they say before swimming?

Answer 1

Actually, it depends on the swimmer.

I pray, to get my nervousness away from me......I swim....and im 12....i swam since i was born

here is the one i use

Dear God, another swimming meet

Is scheduled for today

I'm going to be quite busy

So I won't have long to pray

Bless my Mom, Dad, and Coach

And keep us close to you

Let the friends I make today

Be loyal, good, and true

Please help me not forget you God

Each time I take the blocks

I sometimes get distracted by

The noise and all the clocks

Let my starts and turns be quick

My arms and legs be sure

And help my strokes be smooth and strong

To help me to endure

Help me find the confidence

I've struggled for so much

So I can find the shortest way

From start to final touch

And when the droll computer

Writes my times across its face

Please let me not think win or lose

But how I swam the race
