More Swim Team

Isn't she cute?!? As mentioned before, swim team takes up a lot of our time. Crazy thing is, we are loving it! Monday night, Madeline attended her first meet. It was a "B" meet which means anyone can swim. "A" meets are more competitive, take place on Saturday mornings, and you have to be asked by the coach to participate.

Here is a little run down of our time spent on swim team just this week. The Monday night meet was from 5 to 8:30, yes, three and a half hours, and Madeline swam a total of about 80 seconds. Remember, this is in addition to 5 practices a week in the morning. She also attended an extra stroke and turn clinic Wed. evening and had team pictures taken Thursday morning. Today is Friday, and we'll be at a swim team potluck dinner tonight. And, guess where we'll be tomorrow at 7 am . . . at the "A" meet!!! Madeline's coach wants her to swim butterfly this weekend. She is so proud and excited! She still wants to swim freestyle in Monday's meet too, and the cycle continues. Yes, we basically have swim team every day!
