October Calendar 🍁

For Maddy, On the End of Her Lane

The lane lines part, the season ends,
But not the love we send, sweet friend.
Through early mornings, sets, and pain,
You swam with heart in every lane.

With every kick, with every start,
You led with strength, you led with heart.
A teammate true, through thick and thin,
You showed us how we all could win.

You cheered the loudest, dove in bold,
With stories only champions told.
The goggles fog, the water clears—
We’re left with pride, and happy tears.

Though now you race a brand new tide,
We’ll keep your spirit poolside.
Your legacy will never fade—
In every splash, the mark you made.

So here’s to Maddy, brave and true,
We’re all so proud to swim with you.
Now chase the world with all your might—
Your future’s fast, your strokes are light.
