I totally understand when you say that your academics is affecting your health and sports. What I did was cut back and set my priorities. I didn’t focus so much on swimming, but more on school work. I’m taking 6 IB classes, all pretty difficult, but I’m still managing to get the work done and do well in the classes because I’ve cut back (I didn’t do IB science and am doing only IB Pre Calc).

So know your limits! It may hurt, but see if you can switch into Honors English or something. Don’t think about what the admissions office will think, but think about yourself first. Life is not worth living if you’re going to always force yourself to be stressed and tired all the time.
