Last one was a fast one 😤 

I’ve been swimming since I was 3 and really been in the water longer than that. I always loved it, so competing in college was something I dreamed of since I was little. Unfortunately my career didn’t quite line up with what 10 year old Daniel dreamed of, with 4 surgeries limiting me to spending more time standing on deck watching than actually swimming over the 4 years. However I’ve grown and learned a ton through it, and while yes I wish I could’ve done more in the pool for lumensswimming, I am content in how it ended with friends and family there watching my final race yesterday. 

God always has a plan even through the darkest moments when surgeries don’t go as planned and life gets flipped on it’s head. Swimming has given me great memories and even better friends I will cherish the rest of my life. Thank you to every single person who supported me throughout the journey especially my parents coaches and teammates who saw me at my lowest, you kept me going and hopeful that I would get one last chance to throw down and yesterday I did, walking away from the sport with a final PB and more importantly closure and a readiness to walk into what God calls me to next in my swammer life! #swammer
