It’s a swim team tradition on our team that before every meet, the National Anthem is played and 6 swimmers swim one lap of the pool holding an American Flag.
My sons have ALWAYS wanted to be the ones in the water for it.
Well… today Alex had his moment. He was handed the flag.
He held it so securely, I was so proud of him.
He bounced right out of the water to go show off his flag to his brothers. It was a really cool moment and my eyes were definitely filled with happy tears.
