I am a swimmer.

Jumping into the pool, feeling the water against my skin.

I am a swimmer.

Listening to my coach, giving me words of advice as I compete against grown men.

I am a swimmer.

He offers wisdom for me to be all I can be.

I am a swimmer.

He knows with the right training; I will win the 50 Free.

I am a swimmer.

He supports my goals even when I am not confident.

I am a swimmer.

My coach, my mentor, my never-ending source of encouragement.

I am a swimmer.

And in the end, with his guidance,  I will win.
