hero

She chose Lynne Cox
long distance open water swimmer
for her 2nd grade hero project.

We met her at Seal Beach
she leaned down and
pointed out toward the ocean
beaming with joy
sharing experiences

a hero who...

Dreams big
Sets goals
Trains hard
Trains hard
Achieves more than thought possible

open
generous
reflective
mentor
for swimming
and beyond

beliefs fuel enthusiasm
and enthusiasm evolves into passion

a pure delight
to be in Lynne's
passionate presence
