An incredible first session! The anticipation of the first swim is mind bending. As a coach you try to be calm and reserved. Inside you are going crazy wondering if the "taper" worked. I have so much faith in my taper but it is like catching lightning in a bottle. Well, I have a lot of bottles of lightning!
All 6 swims were very special and the other swimmers in attendance now know that it is time to race. Watching a swimmers reaction to seeing their new best time on the scoreboard is a special moment. I watched one happen tonight that is now in the top 5 all time. Watching kids realize they just did something even they did not think possible is an amazing thing to see.
It was great to be on deck and see some many swimmers that I have gotten to work with at Hartwick Swim Camp.
Tomorrow is gonna be another great day!
