- We
are not whiners, WE
ARE grateful for the
opportunity to swim with our team, and for the sacrifices of time
and money that our parents and coaches make to benefit our
lives.
- We
are not just doing dry land, WE ARE building muscles and
learning about our own strengths and
weaknesses.
- We
are not just swimming laps, WE
ARE developing aerobic and
anaerobic capacity for health, lifelong development and
competition.
- We
are not just going to a swim meet, WE ARE helping families
spend time together and testing our skills in
competition.
- We
are not just packing our bags for another day of swim,
WE ARE becoming more
responsible and mature.
- We
are not just half listening to our coach, WE ARE showing them their worth by giving
our undivided attention.
- We
are not just leaving our wet suit and towel in our swim bag after
practice, WE
ARE hanging them up to dry because we
value the resources invested in our
lives.
- We
are not just learning about swim, WE ARE decreasing the possibility
of an accidental drowning.
- We
are not just at swim practice, WE ARE learning to focus, cultivate
memory, learn math skills and take command of our physical
bodies.
- We
are not just members of BEAR Swimming, WE ARE representatives of USA
Swimming in the State of California, and we hope to take our
achievements through high school, college and
beyond.
