At the beginning of the new semester, this group of Putuo student-athletes have now entered the school and started a new life. Shanghai Putuo hopes to congratulate them on their titles on the list, while summarizing and sharing their growth experiences, and also providing a window for more people to understand their stories.
When I first learned that the college entrance examination was postponed by one month, Chen Li, a student-athlete who was studying in Jinyuan High School in Shanghai, couldn't help but feel a little disappointed. "I could have been liberated after another 30 days, but I didn't expect it to be 60 days at once." But she quickly adjusted her mentality. "I felt that I was still a long way from my ideal school at that time, so I wanted to use the time of the epidemic to improve myself. Even if I couldn't achieve the goal in the end, I was a little closer to it."
Every morning, Chen Lizao took online classes at home like other students, and continued to do the questions after class. "The other students are already sprinting at this time, but our foundation in all aspects is still weak due to training and other reasons." Chen Lizao introduced that his class teacher specially prepared basic exercises for this, and she asked the teacher for advice and answered questions each day after completing it every day.
cannot go to the swimming pool to train. For the rest of the time, Chen Li followed the coach's guidance and continued to conduct physical training. skipping rope became their main training content. "I know there is no way to do this. Many people are supporting us, including my neighbors, and they have sacrificed a lot for me." Worried about affecting the daily life of the residents downstairs, Chen Lizao also contacted his parents in advance to ask for their understanding. The sudden interruption of
training has undoubtedly had a huge impact on these student-athletes who have entered the sprint state, but they did not give up. After completing the coach's training arrangement every day, many people have not agreed to appropriately increase independent training.
"Our coach has a high professional level, and we also have 100% trust in him." Chen Li would communicate with the coach whenever he encountered emotional fluctuations or professional confusions in the last month after he resumed training. "I think it is already very good to be able to recover to this score in the end, and I would like to thank the coach for his guidance." Chen Li in

training "has been like a day for ten years", which is used to describe the lives of these student-athletes, but there is actually not much exaggeration. Zhong Yilin, who also studied in Shanghai Jinyuan High School, said that since she entered the swimming school, she has met "the coach who likes to rest the most", and only gives them a day off in one week. "Basically, they have to train every day, and the high school sprint stage requires about 10 training times a week."
went to school with ordinary students during the day. After school, these athletes from Putuo Swimming School had to go to the swimming pool to undergo about 2 hours of daily training. It was usually 9 or 10 o'clock when they got home. "Before I go to bed, I will do my homework and grasp my weakest subjects." Zhong Yilin admitted that on the road of choosing swimming, the most difficult thing is not how hard the training is, but the inability to take into account both swimming and learning. "It feels bad that I can't keep up with my studies, but I really can't take a lot of time to study."
Practice swimming well, and even more importantly, you must read good books. This is the expectation of the parents of student-athletes and the joint persistence of the District Sports Bureau and the District Education Bureau. In recent years, the district's sports and education integration work has been continuously improved, and the "one-stop" sports reserve talent training system has been continuously extended, striving to create a more suitable learning and training environment for student-athletes, and they have also used their own practical actions to reflect the achievements of the sports and education integration model.

Now, these students have ushered in a new life in their respective universities, and have also entered the swimming teams of various universities, continuing to participate in various competitions as student-athletes. For them, swimming is not a pedal on the college entrance examination road, but an important part of their lives.
"We have started training." Zhong Yilin told reporters that in September they will represent the school in competition, which will be her first competition after admission.
