Nitro Swimming captures the Texas Age Group Championship title
I wanted to leave you all with two pasted notes – one from one of our own swim parents, and one from a parent from another program:
“I just had to share the things I’ve seen this week. It makes me proud to be part of the Nitro family. I saw Emma help a swimmer out of the pool just before her race, breaking her concentration for the help of others. I saw brothers supporting each other, then racing each other. I saw Josh go out of his way to not only encourage teammates in his heat but especially the younger kids. I saw tired smiles, after races. I saw many swimmers shaking hands with competitors before and after their races. I saw the look of awe in the 10 year olds thrilled that the NG was cheering them! The determination in Ben when Zack was there to cheer him on. I saw coaches right there after a bad race and jumping for joy with great swims.
The NG’s Thursday surprise appearance and cheer had an impact on the entire Championship. Other team parents were disjoint and sitting all over the stands on Thursday, but they were together and cheering their swimmers on Friday – I don’t think the NG senior kids understand the outstanding effect their support had on this meet and the younger kids. Their roller coaster cheer left the stands silent afterwards. I had several parents from other teams make comments about how great it was.
It is this type of outstanding behavior that sets an athlete apart as a real champion and sportsman and sets the team apart from the others. I’ve never been more proud to be part of the Nitro family.”
“I wanted to send you, your coaches, and your wonderful swimmers congratulations for an exceptional 2010 Long Course TAGS. Not only did you all finish #1 team champions, you and your swimmers demonstrated tremendous enthusiasm and sportsmanship. Personally, my wife and I were touched while we watched the encouragement your swimmers displayed while cheering for our daughter throughout the meet. Each day she felt special as she came home to talk about how nice you, Greg and your swimmers treated her! You and your organization are setting the standard for winning and sportsmanship. I just wanted to take this moment to acknowledge our thanks to you, your coaches, and swimmers for the positive experience and support you have demonstrated. Congratulations to NITRO NATION!”
