BGSU swim team members Alexa Harris, Carmen Young, Emily Bennet, Alexis Kain, Emily Waller and Jen Beatty provide a look into the lifestyle of an athlete on the Bowling Green State swim team. The video highlights six areas of student-athlete life at BGSU, including classes, dorms, dining, workouts and athletic training.

Harris, a senior, shares her course work in early childhood education, while sophomore Carmen Young gives a detailed tour of her dorm. Bennet takes us through the Bowen-Thompson Student Union and discusses her favorite places to eat on campus. Kain and Waller give an inside look at the team's workouts, including swim practices at BGSU's Cooper Pool and strength training in the Sebo Center. In the last segment, Beatty brings us along on a visit to the athletic trainer, where she receives treatment on her shoulder.
