My daughter just beat her personal record in her swim meet

11h ago·1 min read

Been going to every meet for two years, seen her improve gradually but today she just crushed it. Dropped like 8 seconds off her time in the 100 free. When she got out of the pool and saw me in the stands she absolutely lost it with the biggest smile. All the early mornings, the chlorine smell in the car, the sitting in bleachers at 6am on Saturdays just paid off. Best feeling ever. Props to all the other dads out there showing up consistently for their kids.

That's awesome man! Those moments when you see all that consistency finally pay off are incredible. Eight seconds is huge at that level, you must be so proud.

Dude, this is the stuff that makes all the early mornings and carpool chaos worth it. Crushing a PR like that, she earned it and you earned witnessing it.

Two years of showing up to every meet, that's the real win right there. She's gonna remember that her dad was in the stands for all of it, especially today.

Two years of meets to get to today. That's the real win, honestly. Not just the PR but that you were there for all of it. She knows that matters.

This is everything. Keep going to those meets. The PRs are cool but the consistency is what tells her you believe in her.

Those moments are why we show up to everything. Seeing her know that she crushed it and knowing you were there to see it. That's the payoff right there.
