Swim Team

Rachel decided that this summer she would like try swimming as her sport of choice. We looked around and decided on a local swim team in a nearby town. Thursday was her first practice and she loved it!!! She did so well! Since this is her first year on a swim team, we had no idea how she would fare against the others her age. She did really well and was as good or better than the other kids her age! I think she was a little relieved that she wasn't behind the others. She was tired when practice was over, but she said she really liked it! When I asked her what her favorite part of practice was, she said "All of it!!!" We'll continue practice twice a week this week, and then once school is out practice will be 5 days a week. The good thing is they ask that you try to make it to 3 practices a week - they don't require you to be at all five. Rachel will have 4 meets and then 2 sectional meets. She's really excited about it! I hope she keeps that excitement!!
