Swim Team '08
We Wrapped up our 2008 Swim Team Season yesterday. It was LOTS of fun. Swim team is a concept I didn't know anything about until we moved here. It is truly an amazing thing to watch. Kids here swim on a team just for their neighborhood. Then on Saturday mornings 2 neighborhoods will have a competition. Kids from 4 yrs to 18 yrs old practice every day after school. They do Backstroke, Freestyle, Breaststroke and Butterly. There are also relays, medleys and IMs. The numbers of each person's events are written on their arm. That way it's easy to remember when it's your turn to swim. So that we can keep up David and I write all the numbers on our hand as well. The kids really enjoyed the season and we look forward to swimming again next summer. We will be practicing our breathing, strokes and kick turns for next year.
