Once again, our summer has been filled with many many many many hours at the pool. By the way, I am not complaining. How lucky we are to have a wonderful pool to go to and an incredible swim team to be a part of!! This was the first year that both A and J3 could be on the big team together. Practices were twice a day and swim meets took up one evening a week, but the benefit that we gained from doing it this year far out weighed the sacrifice of time that we made.
Although we really missed the wonderful friends that decided not to do swim team this summer, we were truly blessed in so many ways through swim team. The coaches this year did such a great job with the kids. They taught A and J3 so much about swimming, but also made it fun for them and encouraged them in many ways. We will always remember the chants and cheers,the smiles and laughter and of course, the reminders of "two hands".
Then there were the extra curricular activies, which were abundant and quite fun. We did everything from painting pottery to baseball games to tubing down a river (and more!)
Of course, another highlight of swim team is the time to get to sit and visit with other moms as we watch the practices. It was really nice to get to spend time with some special friends as we would sit and watch our kids (who were working really hard, by the way!)
