A Summer of Swimming

Every summer we do swimming. The older ones have kind of outgrown it, but the younger ones are still loving it! This year we did swimming with BYUH's swim team. We loved it so much, we did two swim sessions. I was asked to coach the second one, which was a fun and intimidating experience. None the less, we did manage to keep ourselves cool in the summer heat.

At the end of each session, the kids have a swim meet against their teammates. It's a lot of fun to watch. Kara did really awesome in the water, placing in a few of the races: freestyle and dolphin kick (forerunner to butterfly).

Micah proved to be a great swimmer himself. The first session he struggled, participating in only one race. By the time the second session's swim meet rolled around, he participated in every race he could, including the butterfly. He placed in many of the races. Good job Micah!

A little known fact about myself, I love swimming. It was fun to coach and be part of organizing the swim meet. At the end of each swim meet, they have a parent/coach race. I participated both times. Here's a little secret: I live for those races. So fun!!! I gotta get have some fun too. The 2nd swim meet race at the end was a family one. I'll try and post that video up later of that race.
