Fatherhood Inspired Brad Snyder To Be His Best \u2014 And To Return To The Pool<\/b><\/p>\n

By Karen Price<\/p>\n

For Paralympic champion swimmer and triathlete Brad Snyder<\/strong>, trying to pick a favorite part of fatherhood is like trying to pick a favorite leg of a race.<\/p>\n

The whole point of triathlon, he said, is to spread everything you\u2019ve got across the entire course. That pursuit of excellence and of becoming the best version of yourself is ultimately what makes it rewarding. Win, and you can recognize that you operated to the best of your ability that day. Lose, and you learn from it and resolve to do a little better next time.<\/p>\n

\u201cThat\u2019s what I love about parenting too,\u201d said Snyder, who recently announced a return to competition after a four-year break following the birth of his daughter, with a goal of competing in Los Angeles in 2028. \u201cEvery day is simultaneously exhausting and incredibly rewarding. Fully investing yourself in the development of a young human being is such a profound challenge, but watching your child learn new things, develop new skills, try new foods, tell jokes and experience the full emotional breadth of what it means to be human is just amazing.\u201d<\/p>\n

Snyder grew up a standout swimmer and served as captain of his team at the U.S. Naval Academy. While serving in Kandahar, Afghanistan, in 2011 he stepped on an improvised explosive device and lost his vision. One year later, Snyder swam for Team USA at the Paralympics in London and won gold in the men\u2019s 100- and 400-meter freestyle S11, and silver in the 50-meter freestyle. He went to his second Paralympic Games four years later in Rio, winning gold in the 50-, 100- and 400-meter freestyle S11 and silver in the 100-meter backstroke. Then he shifted his focus to paratriathlon and won gold in the event in Tokyo 2020.<\/p>\n

Daughter Rooney Mae was born in 2022, and although Snyder said in a social media post that it was never his intention to officially retire from the sport, he wasn\u2019t ready to compete again by the time the Paris Paralympics came around in 2024. But with Los Angeles two years away, he\u2019s ready to come back to the pool. And his daughter, he said, is \u201cprobably the biggest reason.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cOf course, every athlete dreams of competing in front of a home crowd, so that\u2019s certainly part of it,\u201d Snyder said. \u201cBut for me, the idea that I could, in some sense, \u2018pass the torch\u2019 to my daughter on a stage as meaningful as LA28 feels incredibly special.<\/p>\n

\u201cBefore my daughter was born, so much of my athletic journey centered on me. What did I want to accomplish? Could I win? Did I have what it took? Then, after success came, I spent years traveling around and speaking publicly about my own story and experiences. The moment I became a father, it became very clear to me that I was no longer the center of my universe. That changed the way I look at everything.\u201d<\/p>\n

Snyder admits that training now is a bit different than preparing for previous trips to the Games. Not only does he have a daughter, but his commitments outside the pool include serving as member-at-large on the International Paralympic Committee\u2019s governing board, a position to which he was elected last year.<\/p>\n

He has to remember to give himself grace; it\u2019s a piece of advice he recommends to other athlete dads as well.<\/p>\n

\u201cI have to manage my time and energy differently,\u201d he said. \u201cI\u2019m never going to be exactly who I was before, so instead of chasing some past version of myself, I\u2019ve tried to give myself permission to fully embrace who I am today. That\u2019s still a challenge. But there\u2019s also freedom in it. There\u2019s freedom in accepting where you are in life and committing yourself to becoming just a little bit better every day.\u201d<\/p>\n

Being the father of a young child has taught Snyder how to keep a lot more balls in the air than he used to, he said. It\u2019s also taught him patience, including how to slow down and move at the pace that works for her in order to give her the space she needs to learn and develop. Snyder said parenting also develops resilience simply from finding himself in situations he doesn\u2019t always know quite how to handle.<\/p>\n

It also has him thinking about the meaning of legacy in a much different way than before. It\u2019s no longer just about winning races or collecting medals, he said. It\u2019s about how he conducts himself in victory and defeat, how he trains, how he competes, and what his sportsmanship communicates about his values.<\/p>\n

Of course, he\u2019d love it if sports become part of his daughter\u2019s life, whether in swimming or triathlon or something else. But they\u2019ll see where her passions lead her.<\/p>\n

\u201cFor me, LA28 feels like an opportunity to put a meaningful bow on an incredible athletic chapter of my life,\u201d he said. \u201cIn some ways, it feels like a final wave to the crowd before stepping fully into a new role. I\u2019ve already started moving backstage over the last few years, and after this chapter, my greatest passion will simply be supporting my daughter and empowering her journey however I can.\u201d<\/p>\n
