This summer we have been pretty busy with one thing.... Swim Team.
Kelly and Nate have practice every day for an hour, then we usually stay and let them swim for a while. They come home worn out. I love it. The swim team has been a really positive experience for us. Last year was the first year that they tried it. They learned a lot, but they were not the fastest swimmers. This summer they picked up right where they left off and they are swimming really well. They get great excercise. They are having fun and making friends. I love it when the all kids cheer for their teammates at the meets.
We had a meet this past Thursday evening. Kelly won 1st place in the 9-10 girls 25yard backstroke. She placed 2nd in the 25 yard freestyle and 4th place in the 5o yard breaststroke!
I was so proud of her and more importantly, she was proud of herself. She has really improved.
Nate did great also. He placed 4th in the 25 yard breaststroke and 4th in the 25 yard backstroke. He placed 6th in the Freestyle. There are a ton of boys in the 7-8 age group so I thought that this was excellent.
Here are a few pictures of each of them as they are about to start for backstroke.

That's so great that they are doing well. What a great skill to have and do well at. It is wonderful exercise and a life saving skill. They are so cute and Kelly is the cutest skinniest thing in her suit.
