The Final Lap!

We are in the home stretch with swim team!  We have about a 1 1/2 weeks of practice and our last meet in next Wed!  Woooohoooo!!!

Don't get me wrong, I love that the girls do this every summer.  Rm has shaved over 20 sec. off of her free and over 5-10 sec off the other strokes this summer.  Cg struggled this year.  She entered a new age bracket (the 9-10's) and was one of the younger swimmers, so she didn't make as strong a showing as she did last year.  But she has improved all of her strokes as well.

But this is a time consuming activity (as you all know!).  The whole team is run by the parents, so we are required to work a minimum of 3 meets, I run the pep rallies and I photograph many of the meets.   Whew!  

But the end is in sight (did I mention it's next Wed.?) and then begins the Vacation!  We are headed to TN baby!

Hi Trac, Looks like both girls have done well with their swimming this summer. That is GOOD!!!!!

I know you'll be glad for a break--but this is just SO important for your girls. I hate to see kids sit around doing nothing all summer.

Hugs,
Betsy
