Everyday in June these two woke by 7 to be at the pool by 8.
And once a week, they braved the heat and the sun,
to swim freestyle,
backstroke,
and the butterfly!
To have a fabulous swim team season!
This was LM’s first year to really compete. He swam in 4 of 5 meets and improved his performances every time. His little 5 year old relay team came in 14 of 20 at the City Meet and he won his VERY FIRST colored ribbon. This was a VERY big deal for him! BG had a fabulous season. Each week she competed with sixty to eighty 7-8 year old girls. She won at least 2 ribbons at every meet and took the bronze medal in the backstroke at the City Meet. She swam all 4 strokes at some point in the season, but she excelled in butterfly, back, and 50 m freestyle!
Through it all, I was most proud of their attitudes. I never heard a complaint about the early mornings, the practices, or the meets. They had a blast!
