In the middle of her freestyle race she stopped to look at me (I was at the finish) grinned and kept going...it cracked everyone up. She&#39;s a trip.

Just remember not to ever get all psycho-sport-parent on your kids...there were so many parents like that when I was an age-group swimmer, and the burn out I developed was caused by that. Thankfully I&#39;m finally getting back into it now as a college swimmer. Yey!<div style="clear:both;"></div>https://community.usms.org/thread/31537?ContentTypeID=1Mon, 01 Aug 2005 07:46:25 GMT3187ac58-ba85-4314-b79a-c45cd885e09a:f4defc51-1406-41fd-b189-9a3e185ff669Former MemberIsn&#39;t that the best !

I have 4, the oldest is 20 and youngest 13. When you see one put their heart into something and achieve it, who could help but get emotional. Those are the moments I most cherish in life. And yes some of those moments have come at the swimming pool for mine also. Congratulations Julesmom. You need to remember those moments when they are teenagers.<div style="clear:both;"></div>https://community.usms.org/thread/31351?ContentTypeID=1Sun, 31 Jul 2005 11:48:47 GMT3187ac58-ba85-4314-b79a-c45cd885e09a:d9f0d7f9-efc7-4534-889b-46dfbd9603edFormer Memberand Tom...how about this for warm fuzzies?
