Swimmers

Swim team. It was a big decision. It was a big commitment. It was expensive. It was every day. It was four months long. Those Saturday swim meets were LONG and hot. There was lots of volunteering.

It was also really fun. We all got in the water more. The kids liked it. They met new friends. They were part of a big team with lots of fun activities all the time and lots of camaraderie.They learned some team cheers and they say them all the time.  They learned about commitment. They had awesome coaches.  And the best part is, they became awesome swimmers!  And by awesome, I just mean they love to swim, they are super comfortable in the water, they can swim for days without grabbing on to anything and they are safe. :-)


First race for Finn. By the last race, that dive was pointed toward the water. :-)

 In both videos Finn and Selah are in lane closest to the bottom of the screen. Please excuse my scratchy voice yelling in the background.  Eeew.
