Today is our last swim meet of 2013.
We have had a great season and won our division.
Swimming is an individual sport but being part of a team is just fun.
The children have learned many life lessons right here in our neighborhood!
Brother felt the joy of winning a few times.
Brother got to participate in his first relay.
Lil sis got her first ribbon.
She dove in each and every time with such confidence.
Joined her first Cupcake Race - 6U get a cupcake if they try to swim the butterfly stroke for a full lap.
Big sis got to swim up with 13/14 girls for a couple of relays.
Lil sis swam her last two meet solo - yep at three she was able to swim her lane without any help.
I love how the teenage helpers supported and cheered her on!!!
We had a thunder delay and or rain every.single.meet this season (except the very first which we missed for vacation). Again, another huge life lesson...thunder is a warning to seek shelter not sit out by water and wait. Yes, we waited in the van one night as lightning was all around.
They were great cheerleaders!
This beauty was not in too many pictures this year. I saw her go off with her girlfriends and hang out. It was great but I didn't think she'd appreciate me snapping pictures!
So thankful that our neighborhood supports this team but most importantly that our children can swim...not survive in water but swim!
More to come on the Championship Celebration!
