Medicine and competitive swimming?
Basically i wondered if it was possible to study medicine AND swim competitively at the same time to a high standard, at least nationals. Because i need to apply for uni this year and medicine really appeals to me but i would love to carry on swimming too! Is anyone else is this position or has been?

I have a friend who manages a medical degree and rows at top level im sure you could manage swimming with a levels. And if when it comes to it you can't cope then you have to make a decision which goes. It's pretty personal to your academic ability, stress tolerance etc

Well ive just completed my as levels and i managed to keep training 9 times a week fine, its just i don't know whether it will be too much at uni with medicine swimming and a socail life too!
I think there's this exact story on one of the boards at my gym. An alumni who studied medicine and competed on the international stage in swimming at the same time.
