Madeline really wanted to join a swim team this year, and it has been quite a commitment! She has practice five days and week, plus meets. Whew! It has been a challenge to get her there after school each day (Leah has made the biggest sacrifice with many 12 hour stretches alone at home), and now that she has morning practices, I will rely on family and friends to get her there while I attend teacher work days and a week long training. The good news is . . . she loves it!!! We went to her time trials yesterday, and it was pretty exciting listening to the announcers and watching her swim. I am still trying to figure how it all works with the heats, events, numbers, and how to get her her team swim cap. We're figuring this one out as we go, but she is having a blast which makes it worth it.
Free style is her best stroke. Her coach said she had the best time in her age group for this event. We find out tomorrow is her times qualify her the "A" or the "B" meets. So much to learn and figure out!
