Abstract
As I embark on my journey of college swimming, there are several things to expect. There is what many believe to be," glamour's" that come along with being a Division I collegiate athlete. The state-of-the-art facilities and equipment, the top of the line gear and endorsements, availability to tutors and academic support, and on-campus housing are just to name a few. However, some of the less-than glamorous aspects of being a Division I athlete are early morning practices, balancing a demanding schedule and drug tests. What many amateur athletes do not know is that as a Division I athlete, you are subject to these "randomized" drug tests.
I first learned about these drug tests when I spent a week at the Olympic Training Center for an altitude training camp. At the camp there were mandatory information sessions. The information sessions were all on the subject of our sport, swimming. We were informed on the topics of nutrition, proper warming up and warming down for competition, and most importantly, drug testing.
