Is that a shark?

No wait it's the Big Swimmers swimming ALL together! What an experience! This is my first opportunity to do something as big as this Big Swim. At first I thought it would be no big deal considering I thought I could live in the water 24/7. I have come to realize it is harder than it looks. It is pushing my dedication. Being the mother of 20 month old, my whole life revolved around him and wanting to spend every waking minute with him. But those are selfish wants. Being part of this group has given me a new "want". That is wanting the children in this area have a great influence in there life. I am sure most of us take for granted how we were raised. Most of us had parents or grandparents or other family members so involved in our lives that it shaped us into the adults we have become. The children that is benefiting from the Big Swim will now have the same opportunity. I still have a little bit of selfishness in this swim by telling myself, "ooooh I am going to get so thin doing this!!!" But I know that the biggest reason I am doing this is for those wonderful kids. So that's it! Hope to see yall at the dam!
