Dear Patty: A Tribute To A SwimSwam Swim Mom

Happy Mother’s Day, Mom!

Thank you for being there for us and doing all that you do as our mother! You have been and always will be there for us! For years you have supported the three of us as we have progressed from summer league swimming to collegiate swimming. We would not have grown into the people we are today if it was not for you! When we started swimming, our family became centered around the sport. As the wife of a coach, a club team board member, and a mom to three swimmers along with all of their friends, you did not have an easy job. As hard as it was for us in the pool, your job was just as hard, if not harder. Between waking us up for practices, cooking for us everyday, driving across town for school and practice, keeping our lives organized, and being our biggest fans, you had your work cut out for you.

You have nursed us through injuries, asthma, food allergies, and much more to get us back in shape and keep us in the pool. Thank you for everything you do for us!!

Love,

“Troy”, Trevor, and Chase
