Why I Joined: Was enticed by the sense of community, and needed female friends outside of the swim team. Didn't really understand what I was getting into.

Why I Stayed: At times, it can be tough, but some of the friendships I've made in this organization are simply invaluable. Being here has also taught me patience, kindness, and communication, and I'd be a much more awkward and lonely person without having taken part.
