<p>On the Common Application they ask questions about how many hours a week do you spend for a sport. Do you include the hours spent getting there and getting home?</p>
<p>If it was just the swimming practice itself it'd be 2 hours or 2.5 hours.</p>
<p>If it includes the travel and other time spent, it would be 4 hours a day.</p>
<p>lol, there’s not even much of a difference. i would swing for the 4 hours a day though.</p>
<p>Lol I think you could prbly throw travel time in. Most people, though its sad, exaggerate their hours pritty heavily. The difference between 2 and 4 hours is very minimal though.</p>
<p>You could argue that the extra 2 hours is time spent away from your schoolwork/ devoted to swimming, which is the point of colleges asking for ECs. I would also say throw in the extra time.</p>
<p>You can include transportation time and other preparation time.</p>
<p>Ha, glad to see a fellow swimmer asked this question; I was wondering the same thing. Now I’ll have more like 30 hours a week instead of 20.</p>
