The first jump in the water feels like a familiar hug; a sanctuary. After being away at school for a semester, the winter break is a welcome solace. While my non-swimmer friends are still sleeping, I am training in a pool so much like home to me. All of my problems fall away and everything is okay again. The water is different, calmer, like an old friend that has shared my secrets, tears and anger welcoming me back to a family.
That family of kids and teens from ages 6-18 waiting with open arms to give us a safe place to call home while in the middle of a season that is shaping our swimming career in a way that they will soon learn and experience. Seeing the younger kids brings me back to the days of 25s and goofy-looking caps, that never did fit right on anyone. Seeing the 15 and unders brings me to the middle school days, when no one knew swimming better and I was so close with the girls my age. Then the high school swimmers– in them I see me, just a few short years ago, happy to be swimming, worried about the future, eager to relieve any stress from the finals that they think are hard now (just wait until Microeconomics 2033 gets thrown at you).
