Now in their third season they have become fully engaged in the whole "one shot" nature of the race and watching their focus and determination on the blocks is something to behold as a parent.<br /><br />Everything you relate regarding character, moral intensity, focus,discipline are all things I see them learning and expressing. These attributes are seen at many levels from Olympian athelets to the Toppenish Tarpon summer swim league swimmer. These lessons will hopefully stay with the young swimmer as they become young adults and begin contributing to our society. Thank you for sharing you insight Pat.
