So it’s hard to believe that our championship season is on the horizon, yes a time when you walk around maybe with your chest pumped out, your shoulders held back a little more than normal and with a little more crispness in your stride.  It’s hard to believe that it has been 2 years until this time, but here it is.

Since stepping back in the pool back on June 1st, you all have shown up everyday and put in some incredible work to come full circle and arrive stronger, faster and mentally ready to have incredible swims at whatever meet you are in.  If you had one shot, one opportunity to win everything you ever wanted, in one moment would you capture it or just let it slip away.  Challenge yourself in your swims and take each one as they come, don’t get ahead of yourself. You’ve made the sacrifices, put in the hard work and now it’s your moment to shine.

When you feel

Like you can’t swim

Any faster

Kick any further 

You must keep going

Greatness is only milliseconds away

But you have to give 100%

You can’t slack off halfway 

Through the race because 

You think negativity, you must

Maintain a 100% effort for the

Entire race.
