THE TEAM PLAYER AWARD IN SWIM!
Something amazing happened today at our swim banquet: I won the Team Player award. Honestly it feels amazing because it was not about swimming the fastest but about lifting spirits and making practice more fun. Swim practices can get super long and tiring. Sometimes you feel like you are swimming forever and then you realize…
