Getting Along Swimmingly


This summer we are swimming, swimming and swimming. Swim team is an every weekday commitment. It's a lot but it's been good and I actually think I'm going to miss it when it's over at the end of June. Curly loves every moment of it. She loves swimming, her teammates and her coaches. This past week at her swim meet she won her first 1st place ribbon. It was in the 6 & under 25 free. She completely destroyed her previous 25 free time by about 30 seconds. She had extra motivation this week as her Aunt Jenna, Uncle Prem, Aunt Lauren and Uncle Luke all came to the swim meet to cheer her on. She told me afterwards that she wanted to swim her best for everyone there. The girl loves an audience. Especially an audience specifically there to cheer for her.

The Bear is also having a blast swimming this summer. She gets to splash around in the baby pool every morning while Curly is at swim team practice. The Bear is also in swim lessons twice a week. She loves the lessons but I'm not sure is actually improving on her swim skills. The Bear is not quite as daring as her big sister in the pool. I am hoping that by the end of summer she will at least jump into the pool without having to hold someone's hand.
