Some families had Friday Night Football and sports to bond them. Your author grew up in the most unsporty family possible. We didn’t play sports until our teenage years and Tennis was sort of foisted upon us. We didn’t grow up watching sports either, except for a compilation video of the greatest Ice Skaters from the 80’s and 90’s someone must have gifted us. So it has been a learning experience and a joy to watch my children embrace their father’s love of swimming. Becoming a swim parent is manageable, we sweat, scream and take videos, check and done. It
