Love seeing these young adults enjoy this sport. We are all damn lucky to swim and have swam.
Thank you, Corey! I loved your video! As a “swammer” I’m always looking at meet results and press releases about medals won at events like the Jr Pan Pac’s; but, this video helped me remember how much FUN it can be to be a part of a swim team! International level athletes or not, these swimmers are just a bunch of GOOD KIDS, doing the best they can with the gifts that have been given to them and enjoying the adventure of their lives!
PS: That apple trick is cool! I’m going to have to try it someday! 🙂
Funny video.
Good try Cassidy! BANZAI! 🙂
It’s great for these kids. That experience builds their US team spirit for the future international competitions.
And Hawaii is really an amazing place to hold these junior Pan Pacs. The seniors must be jealous.
What a great memento from the meet! The exuberance the kids showed at the meet was incredible and I was so impressed with the bonds they created over a week together. Thanks Corey!
