Summer Swim Team 2020

Madison- I am so proud to write to you that you placed in the top 20 of you age group in the (virtual) city swim meet last week in freestyle stroke. While I'm proud of this achievement, what I'm most proud of is your perseverance this summer. It was only towards the end of last summer that you really became a confident and comfortable swimmer, so you were very nervous starting off this year. You were ready to quit when you were quickly moved up to an older group (away from your friends) once they saw your potential, but you kept going. Each day, even when it was extremely hard, you worked and practiced and listened and never gave up! You worked hard and earned the "water bottle being dumped on your head award" in dry land conditioning multiple times. You came to the pool for "fun" later in the day and worked on dives and flip turns, etc. You put your mind to it and were successful. I'm so proud of how far you came this summer and how strong your will is. You amaze me and I love you so much!
