There was a time when our lives revolved around swimming. When kids were younger, they’d go for swim meets almost every other week in Fall and Winter. Then during high school swim season, there used to be 2 swim meets per week (one at home and one away) before Covid. Couldn’t imagine life without swim meets. Now, with my son’s last high school swim season, it almost feels like we have checked out already. Last Friday and Saturday, he went for 2 swim meets and we decided not to drive for these “away” meets. Now, there are only 3 or 4 more swim meets left for him depending on if he qualifies for the state championships or not. Thankfully, these meets are going to be closer so, I’ll make every effort to attend in person and root for him.
