Reflection at the End of a Swim Season

That is my takeaway from this swim season – reveling in and enjoying the journey that my children are on – the friendships they have and will form – the goals they’ll accomplish and where they will fall short.

I arrived home from work on Monday ready to drive the swim team carpool. Only to remember – no carpool tonight. Since early September (almost without fail) I have driven three swimmers to the pool every Monday. Other parents help out Tuesday, Wednesday and then we figure out Thursday as the week progresses.

We need to leave by 5:40 to make it to the pool by 6:05 so that the kids are ready for land practice at 6:15. Linnea our 9-year-old swimmer is done with school at 3:55 and the bus drops her off at 4:10.
