MEMORIAL DAY THOUGHTS

As we celebrate this weekend with our travels, visits with family, maybe even a trip to the beach 🏖️ or just stopping to check in with our summer clubs and reunite with those summertime friendships let’s take a moment and give thanks to our veterans.

We started this week talking about discipline and how if we’re disciplined in our swimming we tend to be more successful and how the lack of discipline will hinder our success.

This weekend as you travel about take time to notice the flags that are up think about why it flies and what moves it, maybe the wind you might say, but I believe it’s more about the veterans who sacrificed so much that it flies and allow us to sleep under the blanket of freedom that it allows.

“Just as you push through the water with every stroke, you honor those who push through the challenges of a military life of service.  Their courage echos with every stroke you take.”  With every breath you draw, every turn you execute it’s a reminder of their ultimate sacrifice.

With that same spirit that they demonstrated, let us show that same spirit in our swimming in their honor.  Let’s show that same discipline and start making some positive changes in our swimming.🏊 

We remember all our veterans and their families for making sacrifices so that we can participate and enjoy our swimming.
