Reply to comment by matt2085 in [LPT Request] How to accept ending an athletic career after college? by matt2085
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!

Reply to comment by 2020-loss in LPT: Motivate someone to do something by preemptively thanking them by Nopumpkinhere
A better life pro tip would be to genuinely thank people for doing nice things for you and every once I'm a while bring something up nice they did that you are still thankful for. Genuinely expressing appreciation, and reminding them that they are important to you.

If he would disagree, he would be absolutely wrong, though? Your child is owed support from their father, morally if not legally (I don’t know where you live, but I don’t think there are many countries where he wouldn’t be required to provide for his child.) If he doesn’t want to be in their life, financial support is the bare minimum he can do. He played a 50% role in creating a human being, he doesn’t get to just walk away from the situation.

I've created a 30 minutes long mp3 of brown noise using Audacity (freeware on pc) which I play on my phone when I can't fall asleep.

I tried looking at masters but they seem to all have practice during my work hours. My club team that I did in middle school and through college has practice in the evening so that looks like a good option for mow

Swim teams called master swim. National and local competitions are out there. Try to think beyond your geographic area. Triathlon is a great competition

I mean, it takes two people, and you certainly didn’t do it all by yourself.
I’m not sure, maybe send an email and include a picture of the two of you together, just so they know its real? I’d also tell them something like “I’m not asking for anything from you, I just want you to know. Here is my information if you would like to get in contact in the future.”
But theres a lot of cultural context that I don’t know, that could affect how it would be interpreted

Brown noise, not to be confused with the brown note.
