She is BAAAACK!

Colleen hasn't swam all summer due to her shoulder injury. The swim coaches begged and pleaded with her to please try and swim so they could have a relay team. She was very concerned about her shoulder, which also made her think she might not be able to finish a lap and full embarrassment would happen. She spent ALL day "in her feelings" and was a very unhappy teenager with the thought of having to swim. The meet had a storm delay which added to her anxiety. She started off with the free relay team. She was first leg, lo and behold she managed to make it to the end of the pool with a good lead. She came out of the pool with a smile on her face for the first time all day. She also won her 50 free and 50 breast and two more relays...during the medley relay was losing and Colleen caught up at the very end and they won. She was on cloud nine. It was great watching her swim again and that it still has the ability to make her feel spectacular!
