Support a Young Athlete
As some of you may remember, last year Sydney competed in the top of her division at the MASY synchronized swimming competition. She brought home a gold medal for the team event, and a silver medal for her duet. After this exceptional performance, she decided to move up into a higher division, and now competes at a national level, with 21-24 hours of swim practice per week. I won’t get into the specific costs, but rest assured they are substantial 
Local Swimmer Brings Home Gold!
This year she is swimming in the 13-15 age category (she is 12) and is loving her decision to move up to the national division. She has not complained once about her commitment to the team, not even when she gets up at 4:00am for Monday and Wednesday practice, nor when she missed 3 of her best friends birthday parties because she had a 6:00am Saturday practice, and definitely not when she gives up her weekends at the lake over the summer to swim with her team….she is a true champion (and future Olympian).
To help out with the extra burden associated with training at this caliber, Sydney has created a sponsorship page where people who appreciate the sports can make a donation to her and her goal of making it to the 2020 Olympics.
Please take a minute to check it out, she will be very motivated to see how much support she has. If you are unable to help with her fundraising through a donation, please be sure to leave words of encouragement…they really do go a long way.
