Question
Have I trained hard enough? Will my wetsuit be warm enough? Standing here on this beach, the opposite riverbank looks much further away than I thought. Thank goodness Dad will be right there beside me in the motorboat. I could never do this without his help and support. I know Mom is worried about me making this swim. She wouldn’t even come to watch. With any luck, though, by tonight, I’ll be walking in the door with the best news: I swam across the widest point in the Delacroix River! Elsie could hardly believe the big day had finally come. Her heart was thumping wildly, and she breathed slowly and deeply to try and calm herself, just like her father had taught her.
Elsie’s father had watched his daughter work toward this moment for two years, swimming each morning before school and every weekend. As she stepped into the water, he gave her the thumbs up. Then, he revved the motor and pulled the boat away from the beach. As Elsie took her first few strokes across the Delacroix, he thought of his wife back home and hoped she was not worrying too much. Slowly and steadily, his daughter swam through the choppy waters, stopping now and then to sip from the water bottle that he tossed to her. It seemed like forever, but at last, he could plainly see a dock on the other side. He watched as his daughter poured it on for the last few hundred feet. He had never felt so proud.
