Swim Team started again at the end of April.
After school practices, Saturday morning meets.
Justine is actually working this year for the pools again.
She has been assigned to help with our swim team!
Life has gotten a little more busy.
I don't mind, because I love swim team!
I've been taking the kids to practices and meets for the past 15 years.
(Minus one year, the year we moved to Texas.)
I love the benefits and what the kids get from it:
* Team spirit.
* Keeps them busy during the summer vacation.
* Uses up energy.
Well, not so for our 10-year-old-super-energised-girl.
She can go from a 7 hour swim meet; 7:30am till 3pm,
to playing for an hour at the pool; 5 to 6pm,
to a ward picnic 6 to 7:30,
( all In the texas heat)
to a rollerskating party 7:30 till 10pm!
That day just about killed Mike and I!
* Exercise.
* Endurance & hard work.
* Strength.
* Discipline.
* Learning from great coaches.
* Cheering team mates.
* Seeing us cheer for them, in a loud way!
(not that they hear us when they are in the middle of a race)
*Self Improvement.
Always stretching one self to beat your own time.
* Healthy good old Competition.
* Family time.
This year Amelie surprised us all by being so close to the pool record in Breast stroke at 18.78
Pool record in her age group 17.44 including the boys 9-10!
This year she beats them all!
It just happened out of the blue in the 1st meet!
So little, yet a B E A S T in breast stroke!
That girl is all muscle!
Emric is pretty good in Breast too.
Here, she is the fast one in lane 3.
