A Thank You to Every Swim Parent

By Grace Hoffmann
It didn’t take long for me to realize that my parents were just as, or maybe even more, involved in my swimming career than I was. I am grateful for all the times they woke up early to take me to morning practice, and the many hours they spent at swim meets waiting for me to swim a race that took under a minute. However, I am more grateful for all the other things they’ve done. The lessons that they’ve taught and the support that they show, are just a few of the invaluable things that my parents have given me as a swimmer.
