They support every decision we make but aren\u2019t afraid to catch us when we\u2019re messing up. Growing up in the water, sometimes it\u2019s hard to see right from wrong and the good from bad. It\u2019s easy to get blinded by our own successes, because most of the time, they tend to be limited. Although it\u2019s acceptable to celebrate victories every once in a while, it can hinder our ability to perform well. With our best interest at heart, our parents keep us grounded and humble but boost our mood when we\u2019re feeling down. Swimming isn\u2019t just about winning, and our parents are the ones who helps us see that the most.<\/p>\n<p>When it comes down to it, our parents will do anything for us\u2026 Anything. They\u2019ll pay any price for our happiness, even if it means supporting our addiction to fast times and tight suits. Driving us all over kingdom come for various meets and practices, our parents become our most trusted chauffeurs without complaint. They pack the perfect snacks for us to munch on during long days and take us to the best restaurants as a reward for finishing. Parents make the best helpers at meets, counting for our long races and timing beyond the blocks just to get closer to us. And let\u2019s be real, they know our best times better than we do!<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_335784\" style=\"width: 970px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-335784\" data-attachment-id=\"335784\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.swimmingworldmagazine.com\/news\/the-real-super-heroes-behind-swimming-our-parents\/support-family\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/vmrw8k5h.tinifycdn.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/support-family.jpg\" data-orig-size=\"960,720\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"support-family\" data-image-description=\"&lt;p&gt;support-family&lt;\/p&gt;\n\" data-image-caption=\"&lt;p&gt;Photo Courtesy: Ane Abraham&lt;\/p&gt;\n\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/vmrw8k5h.tinifycdn.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/support-family-700x500.jpg\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/vmrw8k5h.tinifycdn.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/support-family.jpg\" class=\"size-full wp-image-335784\" src=\"https:\/\/vmrw8k5h.tinifycdn.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/support-family.jpg\" alt=\"support-family\" width=\"960\" height=\"720\" srcset=\"https:\/\/vmrw8k5h.tinifycdn.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/support-family.jpg 960w, https:\/\/vmrw8k5h.tinifycdn.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/support-family-533x400.jpg 533w, https:\/\/vmrw8k5h.tinifycdn.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/support-family-267x200.jpg 267w, https:\/\/vmrw8k5h.tinifycdn.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/support-family-150x113.jpg 150w, https:\/\/vmrw8k5h.tinifycdn.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/support-family-500x375.jpg 500w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 960px) 100vw, 960px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-335784\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Photo Courtesy: Ane Abraham<\/p><\/div>\n<p>There\u2019s nothing better than the loud cheers from up above as our parents hold up signs with our name and faces. Smiling with pom-poms in hand, they can\u2019t help but be proud of what we accomplished, even if it isn\u2019t quite what we wanted. They\u2019re our number one fans in life, cheering us on every step of the way. It never fails; we\u2019re all over their social media as they show us off doing what we love and having fun along the way. Sure, sometimes they can be embarrassing, but everyone needs a wing-man when swimming is as hard as it is. You may add five seconds to your 100 freestyle, but you know they\u2019ll be the first to hug you after a tough meet.<\/p>\n<p>Our parents are our mental punching bags and shoulders to cry on. Swimming has its ups and downs, and if anyone is able to catch us when we fall, it\u2019s our parents. They take our back-talking and tantrums, because they understand our minds and how our brains work. When we\u2019re upset, they get through to us more than anyone else can. They don\u2019t just hear what we\u2019re saying: they listen to our words and offer support wherever needed. They cry along with us when things aren\u2019t going our way. They push us just enough to be the very best version of ourselves, because they know what we\u2019re capable of. They rationalize our thoughts, answer our questions, and calm our fears. But above all, they believe in us even when we don\u2019t believe in ourselves.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_335781\" style=\"width: 970px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-335781\" data-attachment-id=\"335781\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.swimmingworldmagazine.com\/news\/the-real-super-heroes-behind-swimming-our-parents\/robuck-family\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/vmrw8k5h.tinifycdn.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/robuck-family.jpg\" data-orig-size=\"960,896\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"robuck-family\" data-image-description=\"&lt;p&gt;robuck-family&lt;\/p&gt;\n\" data-image-caption=\"&lt;p&gt;Photo Courtesy: Angela Robuck&lt;\/p&gt;\n\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/vmrw8k5h.tinifycdn.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/robuck-family-700x500.jpg\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/vmrw8k5h.tinifycdn.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/robuck-family.jpg\" class=\"wp-image-335781 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/vmrw8k5h.tinifycdn.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/robuck-family.jpg\" alt=\"robuck-family\" width=\"960\" height=\"896\" srcset=\"https:\/\/vmrw8k5h.tinifycdn.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/robuck-family.jpg 960w, https:\/\/vmrw8k5h.tinifycdn.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/robuck-family-533x497.jpg 533w, https:\/\/vmrw8k5h.tinifycdn.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/robuck-family-214x200.jpg 214w, https:\/\/vmrw8k5h.tinifycdn.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/robuck-family-150x140.jpg 150w, https:\/\/vmrw8k5h.tinifycdn.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/robuck-family-500x467.jpg 500w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 960px) 100vw, 960px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-335781\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Photo Courtesy: Angela Robuck<\/p><\/div>\n<p>Our parents love us more than anyone in the world.
