What is your favorite part of the SOHC Aquatics program?"You practice hard, you try your best, and you get awards for your work. I love the backstroke!"-Ashley Blakely, athlete "I like swimming a lot. I try to be a good sport whether I win or lose." -Molly Cauthon, athlete "I always have fun and do my best." -Hannah Johnson, athlete "I love watching the athletes' string of emotions and how they interact during the meets; their nervous energy, their doubts about their ability to perform, how they comfort and encourage one another before and during the event, and the excitement of accomplishment in each of their faces. It is such a blessing to be able to be a part of that." -Wendy Grant, volunteer "I will never forget the huge smile on my daughter's face at her first swim practice." -Linda Johnson, volunteer and parent of athlete Hannah Johnson "The best part of SOHC Aquatics? THE PEOPLE! It's a real community of people who really like and care about each other! Swimming season is the best part of the year - except for Christmas of course :o)" -Andra Cochran, volunteer and parent of athlete Jesse Cochran "I love the peer interaction between the Special Olympic swimmers and our volunteers. We have an outstanding group of kids from area high schools and middle schools along with many athletes' parents who work together to make this an enjoyable experience for all. Cooperation from the Noblesville Swim Club and Noblesville High School has also made it possible for us to host swim meets and hold our practices." -Mary Cauthon, volunteer and parent of athlete Molly Cauthon "One of our favorite things about the Hamilton County Special Olympics is how everyone is accepted no matter what their disability or ability is with swimming." -The Fancher Family "I really enjoy watching the Special Olympic swimmers train and compete together with the Unified Partner swimmers. The friendships established through this program are so wonderful to see. I enjoy the camaraderie of the team members at practices and at the state games. Everyone involved - the athletes, spectators, coaches, etc., is an active participant." -Wendy Kaveney, volunteer and parent of athlete Mallory Kaveney "I enjoy working with the athletes and watching them strive, achieve, overcome, and accomplish what they set their minds to. Too many people limit those with special needs - but all the athletes are wonderful and special people." -Tanya Wiseman, volunteer and parent of athlete Omer Dawson Want us to post YOUR comment??
