I am a freshman swimmer. Here are my tips to you:
• Use your weekend wisely! I cannot stress this enough. It helps me so much with the workload. If you have tests the following week, study the bulk of the info throughout the weekend. Also, utilize the weekend to catch up on sleep.
• I just switched teams, but I used to swim on a team 30+ minutes away (depending on traffic). I would say to do your busy work in the car (i.e. math problems, worksheets). If it is dark on the way home, get a reading light.
• Try and get all of your busy work done by the time swim practice is over. This means do it at school during a lunch period, free, activities, etc. The few minutes you take doing HW at school will save you a lot of time later.
• Limit phone usage during the week. I barely use mine at all. Most of my friends do HW with their phone right next to them. PUT IT AWAY and it will save you so much time!

Hope this helps!
