SANTA

 

Dear Santa 2024

Hey Santa I know you and your elves are busy tonight filling your sack and loading the sleigh for the big night.  

If it’s not to late Santa and it doesn’t cause your elf’s

to go into a panic there are a few things I would really appreciate them to pack in the sleigh for the trip.  The things I am looking for may require some special tools that I hope your elves can find laying around the workshop.

Santa, first off this sport is hard because I am always expecting a best time when I race and sometimes it's hard to understand and accept when that doesn't happen.  Although my coach and I talk and he explains that I can have a good race regardless of the time, it's still hard to accept.

So, Santa what I am asking for is to keep my positive attitude and the confidence to keep swimming forward when those tough times challenge me, as I know now they will.  There will be times this year that I will need the extra shot of motivation to hold onto my love for the sport in the bad times.  I promise I will keep training hard focusing on my streamlines, underwater's, turns and racing strategies.  

I would like you to pack the same things for my swimming group because they are my swimming buddies, my 2nd family.

Ne as thing Santa, could you also pack some awesome finishes for my races in 2025.

Thanks Santa and have a great trip tonight.
