Swimming Support Team By Seth Miller, Creative Writing Intern

“Be devoted to one another in broth-erly love. Honor one another above yourselves” (Romans 12:10).

Swimming seems to be one of the favorite activities at Teen Haven’s camp, especially after spending hours running around in the summer heat. As I watched some of the campers swim, I saw that simply swimming wouldn’t al-ways be satisfying, as many of the girls would yell to their counselors to watch them dive or brag about how far they could swim under water.

Many were also excited to take the swim test, to prove that they were in-deed skilled enough to swim in the deep end of six feet of water. As each camper got a chance to swim one lap of the pool, it was clear that the camp-

ers were not only interested in how well they themselves could swim. Whenever one girl took the swimming test, that section of the pool did not just contain her swimming a lap but also a crowd of her friends cheering her on. After she passed the test, shouts of “Eloise passed the test!” or “Mariah passed!” would splash across the pool, the campers’ excitement for their peer clearly very strong.

In a simple swimming test, the campers’ understand the importance of loving one another. Even in times where no lesson is scheduled, what the campers learn is invaluable.
