Today I had a swim meet. Our team is horrible (as in we only won one meet last year) but we had a good chance of winning today. I swam the 100 yard breaststroke and about three forths of the way through I said fuck it i can't do this. Then I heard my 11 year old sister above the crowd shout "Go Nathan!" that instant I knew I had to give it my all. I was neck and neck with another swimmer and pulled away at the end to place second. We ended up winning our swim meet by two points and if I would've placed third instead of second we would've lost the meet. It's amazing how three words turned my day around.

That's awesome congrats man 👍👍👍
And well said about words changing lives. Something a few people here could take note of. People don't realize one positive encouraging comment could change someone's life. Or just turn their day around even. Good shit man your post kinda made me feel good too thanks for sharing this 👌

Are you saying you do backstroke or legit swim backwards? I saw a kid who looked like he was swimming normally but he was really going backwards. It was crazy
