As every swimmer mounts the blocks, they play in their mind a visual of their race and how they want to perform. Little do they know, in the stands a few thousand feet away someone has their hands clasped at their heart doing the exact same thing.
A parent’s role in the journey of a competitive swimmer is constantly overlooked, as they too take a vow of dedication to the sport through their emotional and physical involvement. In a way, it seems like parents expend more into the sport than us—from driving us to practice every day when we were still 8-and-unders, amping up their commitment to two-a-day practices by the time we turn 11, and let’s not forget the 12-hour meets they sat through with a smile on their face and encouraging words ready to be delivered.
In lieu of Mother’s Day and being away at college, I thought of how much I missed the easily accessible support my swim mom offered me. Therefore, I have crafted the top thank yous I would give my mom (and let’s not forget about dad) for shaping me into the swimmer and person I am today, because we swimmers would not be where we are today without them.
