Water, Family, and Legacy: A Father's Day Reflection

Growing up a competitive swimmer, my parents thought swim meets were painfully boring. So they became officials just to stay involved. I’m pretty sure my dad even disqualified me once. 😂

But truthfully? He’s always been one of my biggest cheerleaders. He told me I could do hard things and helped me believe I was capable of anything I put my mind to. Now, as I run my own business and raise my own family, I see how much of who I am began with him. From letting us ride on his back at the pool to cheering us on from the high dive, my dad made water fun. And that has stuck with me.

He’s a huge part of why I believe in the importance of family connection at the pool. That joy and bonding extend to lakes, beaches, rivers, splash pads—you name it.

Now I get to watch my husband create those same memories with our kids. And I’m reminded how powerful a father’s presence can be.
