3 SUMMERS
The best part of being a coach is that it incorporates into my life as a mom. Sometimes that is a difficult balance. I remember a couple of years ago when I was at Aquabears and Scott and Tyler were toddlers and my summer became booked with lessons. It was hard to say no. No to the kids, the parents and the money. With time saying no became easier as I found balance between my kids and my job. I have loved the last 3 years at Dana Hills. I truly know it was where I was supposed to be. It was where my kids were supposed to be. They grew to love swimming. And it wasn't the laps, times or awards that they grew to love. It was the experience of summer rec swimming that I wanted to give them. Snow cones, cheers, dances, fancy county dinners, playing games on the grass all summer long. That is what rec swimming is about. Probably more so than the actual swimming. That is what has kids in this area swimming so incredibly fast for only being in the water for a couple of month
