When the 2020 NCAA championships were cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic, Beata Nelson saw her illustrious college career with the Wisconsin Badgers abruptly come to an end, and her future in swimming was unclear.

The 7 Sins of Swimming

There is no such thing as a perfect swimmer. As swimmers, we sometimes (although rarely) make mistakes. We may DQ, forget our heat and lane, or even accidentally-on-purpose rip our cap at the exact moment a hard set is about to begin.
