SWIM NEPTUNE swim team

July 11, 2012

The kids have been a part of swim team all summer long. It was so fun to watch their progression as they started out the season not knowing much more than the doggy paddle. Now they are capable of swimming the freestyle, the backstroke, the breaststroke, and the butterfly. They are amazing! It was so difficult for both of them, especially Tyler, because all the kids on swim team have been really swimming (not just goofing off in the pool) since they were 4 years old. Our kids have been trying to play catch up all summer long. They never came in 1st place at any meet. But, they have improved so much and each week their times got faster and faster.

Grandma Megan continued to help a ton with the kids even after we returned from Hawaii! She learned all their ins and outs while we were gone.

I am impressed! They know strokes and are competing and everything! Even after 2-3 years of swim lessons, My kids just flop around in the water and try not to drown. haha.
