As a former swimmer, find a new sport. That’s most of what me and my former teammates did. I tried swimming masters for a while before a coworker introduced me to the climbing gym. These days I’m mostly an outdoor climber, another friend got into CrossFit, I know someone else who does triathlons, etc.

With a sport like swimming that’s basically your whole life from grade school to college, it’s a tough transition for sure, but there’s loads of other stuff to discover that you probably never had time for before!
