Summer swim team is over now and I think the kids really enjoyed it. Check that — I know they enjoyed it, since Kate has asked to continue swimming over the winter and Ben is interested in doing a stroke and turn clinic in the spring. I guess we’ll be adding another activity to their schedules.
This last meet was particularly fun for the kids since it was against a club to which many of their friends belong. They had a great time socializing with their friends from school and other sports and catching up. The only downside is that the other club had a lot of kids and the meet ran an hour longer than our usual meets. The kids were starving when they were done and we had to rush out of there to get them fed before they played in a golf tournament, which will be another post.

Great, what a positive experience they had! both coming to the end of the season wanting more swimming, that’s wonderful. Our last swimmeet was last night also, postponed from tuesday due to lightning storms and the banquet was tonight although we skipped it for soccer practice. My daughter is not a year round swimmer but I wish she was, it’s so healthy in so many ways (no injuries, all round fitness, etc). Can’t wait to hear about the golf tournament, that’s a sport none of my kids has tried.
