Another Season in the Books

from January 31, 2015

today, I took my very last dive off the blocks as a Jaguar. I am so happy that I had the opportunity to be apart of a sport that is so great. It has taught me how to be better even when I think I’ve done all I can. It’s taught me that a positive mind is always going to take you farther. And it’s shown me what a team is for. My team was always there to support me through the bad races, and cheer me on in the good ones. I am so blessed to have been apart of such an amazing group of girls and to have such amazing coaches. Nothing can replace the feeling of swimming a race with every ounce of your being and coming up at the wall to see that you have achieved what you have worked so hard for. the endless training, the morning workouts, the set you hate but do anyways, are all worth what you get in the end. I believe swimming is the most gratifying sport because everything you do, you know that it’s because you worked for it. Rock Canyon Swimming will always have a special place in my heart.
