No matter how old, every tradition had a starting point. That first moment when someone said, "Hey, what if we…"

Well, the Emmaus swim team may have a new tradition that started with a few of the moms sitting around talking about Senior Night and how great it is for the kids. That innocent tradition led to the senior moms joining their kids in the pool fully clothed during the Senior Night celebrations for the swim team.

Nobody knows for sure if the moms truly did start a new tradition, but it's possible. After all, it wasn't that long ago that a group of senior swimmers started a tradition when they all jumped into the water with their warmup suits on. Ever since, the seniors have taken to the starting blocks after being introduced and have taken a plunge soaking themselves and their warmups.

The newly-minted idea of the moms joining their kids in the pool was kept completely quiet right up until the time that it happened.

It was a well-coordinated plan that was concocted and carried out under great secrecy. The moms were able to hide their colorful, 1950s-style swimming caps and after making sure that they had taken their cell phones and other valuables out of their pockets, jumped in right behind their kids, who were flashing astonished looks back at their moms.

While the moms didn't have the graceful entrances into the pool that the kids did there were more than a couple moms who seemed to wonder if they had done the right thing just before they hit the water they picked up points for bravery.

One mom purposely did a belly-flop into the pool and a few others did the same thing only not on purpose.

"Senior night is a lot of fun and I thought it was great that they did that," said Taylor Iobst, one of the seniors who took their own plunge.

When the moms had finally made their way safely to the opposite end of the pool and were in safer, shallower water, they met up with the seniors for a celebration and a few photos.

It's too early to tell if a new tradition was born, but the potential tradition may have a bit of a hard-sell. With the moms of junior swimmers watching, their initial thoughts bordered on horror.

One mom flashed a big smile, but lamented, "That's a horrible tradition. Now, they'll expect me to do that next year."
