Went to the Tarheel Swimming Association's regional competition in Cary this morning and I could have sworn I was attending some YGP event. Walking up to the pool from the parking lot I followed a 2008 Arapahoe National Treasure shirt. Standing in line to buy a program I stood with a Dad wearing an "orange" 2007 Rockmont tee. Upon entering the pool area I was face to face with classic 2005 Spring Outing shirt. Found a seat and sitting a row in front of me was the 2006 shark's tooth t-shirt. Big Braves were all around.
I lost track counting Guides/Princesses shirts on Dads around 60 or so. And there were also at least a half dozen Long Bow or YGP logo caps. I am not kidding when I say it felt more like some patch event than a swim meet. And then there were the Dads I know are Big Braves that were not wearing any YGP gear. All that was missing was Moose blobbing in the warm-up pool.
It makes me proud to see so many Dads showing their Guide pride. It's a testimony to the power of the program when so many Big Braves wear their YGP gear so proudly. It's also a testimony to the quality of our Dads to be up and at a swim meet at 8am on a Sunday morning. Our Dads support our kids on so many levels and that just makes our program that much more special.
How-How!
