Mock Swim Meet

Since we started swim team practice, about 2 weeks ago, we've been able to make it to about 3-4 practices due to other commitments!  The new coach this year is super-tough on the kids and pretty much every kid out there is way out of shape!  My kids have had a hard time finishing the practices because they are so hard and grueling!  Not to mention the water is freezing!!!!

But, they made it, and tonight we had a mock meet with 3 events and just the kids on our team to get everyone, parent volunteers included, back in the groove of how a meet runs!  Both kids swam freestyle and backstroke and did great!  I am going to be a timer/recorder this year and that was pretty fun too!  M's schedule has changed since last year and he gets off a bit early than he use to, and our meets are starting slightly later, so he is able to run interference with the kids while I help with the timing.  I think it's going to work really well!!

Afterwards it was ice cream and cookies all around!  This brought the kids' spirits back up about swim team and made them more excited about the rest of the season!
