Gifts in the Water

 

At TOPS Swimming

we count our blessings in laps—

early mornings,

late nights,

chlorine dreams

and tired claps.

 

Practice is a gift,

every whistle, every turn,

every aching muscle

with something new to learn.

 

Meets come fast,

heartbeats loud,

race plans ready,

focus proud.

Seconds matter,

effort too—

win or learn,

we follow through.

 

Christmas comes,

but gifts aren’t just bows—

they’re goggles, caps,

and gear that grows.

Kickboards, fins,

the tools we need

to build our strength,

to chase our speed.

 

We’re thankful for parents,

steady and true,

for swimmers beside us

pushing us through.

For coaches who guide us,

firm but fair,

seeing our potential

hanging in the air.

 

From Hillside Pool

to Perkiomen’s halls,

Upper Perk pride

echoes off the walls.

Different places,

same clear goal—

heart in the water,

mind in control.

 

At TOPS we train

to be more than fast—

better swimmers,

better people,

building a future

from every past.
