Getting to see my junior swimmers learn the butterfly after working on it all summer and showing it off to their parents at our last home meet of the summer. I really enjoy getting to see athletes of all ages set and accomplish goals. I'm happy getting to help every athlete see the rewards of chasing dreams no matter how big or small they are.
