The document discusses how underwater swimming has contributed to the author's professional development. Underwaters involve traveling the length of the pool completely submerged, requiring breath and mental control as well as a relaxed body. They have taught the author to thrive under pressure by relaxing the mind and body, mirroring the pressures of the professional world. The author also sets short-term and long-term goals for underwaters, mimicking their approach to goals in other areas of life. Exploring the unique perspective below the surface has shown the author the value of pursuing new, temporarily uncomfortable perspectives to gain innovative insights.

Below the surface Lauren Mills Instituto de Empresa Masters in International Management Application Response to prompt E:
I swim for the University of Pittsburgh.
I enjoy my races . . .
. . . but underwaters are my favorite activity.
Underwaters Involve traveling from one side of the pool to the other completely submerged. Kicking is the most efficient and effective means of completing this task. Requirements: Breath control Mental control Relaxing the body (counterintuitive in this situation) They have been influential in my professional development.
Contributions to professional development Performing under pressure: While submerged, the weight of the pool rests on you. You are surrounded by the pressure of the water. Without mental fortitude, feeling the pressure causes panic and forces a premature surfacing. I have learned to thrive under the pressure by intentionally relaxing both my mind and body. The pressure of the water mirrors the pressures found in the professional world. My ability to relax allows me to perform under pressure.
Contributions to professional development Setting goals: To handle the pressure surrounding me while submerged, I set goals: Short term: There are eight lines on the bottom of the pool. I focus on passing them one at a time. Long term: The cross at the end of the lane marks the successful completion of the underwater. The eight lines lead me to this cross. This goal setting procedure mimics that which I follow for school, career, and life goals.
Contributions to professional development Exploring new perspectives: When viewed below the surface, the pool is a beautiful place of fluidity and clarity; it lacks the choppiness and disturbances found at the surface. This unique perspective cannot be experienced without getting your head wet. I know the value of diving into momentarily uncomfortable situations in pursuit of a new perspective that can lead to innovative creations and solutions.
