My life is so full and filled with joy I often forget to reflect on how far I have come with my Masters Swimming journey. Nearly seven years ago, I would have never worn a bright coloured suit that showed off my body. I was too intimated to dive (perfectly) into the water at the beginning of practice, so I’d always jump in feet first. I only practised two times a week and refused to compete out of embarrassment. Last season, was my most rewarding! I swam 3x a week always diving in, nourished my body, said No to late nights out and competed at Nationals placing top 3. And I wore the bright swimsuit to every practice with confidence! I put my wellness at the top of my priorities list and my dedication payed off. This season, my engine is running on the habits of health I worked so hard on in the past. I am so busy that I am forgetting to look forward and plan my goals. Like this Masters Meet that is happening tomorrow.. not off somewhere in the future like I thought. Being a Masters athlete is all about the balancing of a beautiful, full life. I’ve come so far, and I can go even further. So, I’ll shave my legs today and swim tomorrow - like the SwimQueen that I am. Because every small step into discomfort is a big leap of growth. Wish me luck! 📷 thanks leraeshawn for capturing me in my beautiful bright blue suit showing off every curve. 💇🏼‍♀️ revampyxe + pamparkerhair keepin’ it real as I grow out my natural.
