For her, family is everything
Her priority and her love
While she hurts herself she loves others with words
Like the tsunami she is
Like a force of nature, she wants success
But even then, she exemplifies the color yellow
and when she thinks of happiness she thinks of smiles

Riki Watanabe (12) gets his temperature checked before his swim club practice. Once his temperature is checked, he is asked daily questions including if he is feeling well, does he have a sore throat, and has he been in contact with someone with COVID. If he answers no to all, he is allowed to swim. Every swimmer in Sun-Shine Aquatics has to follow the mandatory temperature check, sign in, and mask mandate until in the water. Once they are in the water there is no mask being worn, but social distance is applied. Photo and caption by Lin Meyers.
