Congrats to your boy!
You have every right to be thrilled and proud of him and his accomplishments.

Maybe in some near future his name will be paired up with those of Mark Spitz and Michael Phelps, when great swimmers are talked about. 8)

Randomly came across this thread just now. I know the current situation must have been difficult for your son in terms of his swim training and competing, but I hope he's doing well! And I hope you are too!
