First Year of Swim Team

Kira completed her first season of swim team and loved it.  She always had a great attitude and improved a lot.  She can now swim 25 M of freestyle and backstroke without stopping.  She started to learn breaststroke and butterfly but has a way to go with those strokes.

Learning Breaststroke

The swim team is huge but they did a lot of fun things.  Each week they had a fun treat after practice like doughnuts or ice cream sundaes.  The last two days of practice they played with floats and went off the diving boards.  Kira went off the diving board for the first time with no fear and loved it.  This inspired her to pass the swim test so she could go off the diving boards during regular pool hours (25 M Free and tread water in the deep end for a minute).

One day we went to one of the swim meets to show the kids (and Jeff) what they were like.  Of course, we had to support the swim team and buy some brownie sundaes from the snack bar.  Kira will swim in these next year now that she can swim the whole length of the pool.
