More Maddie and Swim Team


Since my last blogpost, Madeline has been to four swim meets!! She swam butterfly in two "A" meets, free and fly in a "B" meet, and she swam in a "B" relay meet. The relay was very exciting because we got to see Maddie swim four times! Not very many kids from her team came for the relay meet, so Maddie filled in. She even swam a relay with the 9/10 year olds and placed second.

One Saturday, Maddie had 9 fans in attendance to watch her swim: Uncle Tim, Dawn, Eddy, Rae, Ralph, Shirley, Kent, Sophie, and me. Thanks to everyone to coming out early on a Saturday!

  Just when I thought her season was done, at this morning's practice, she was asked to swim at divisionals!! We did not expect this since each pool in our division can only send two swimmers per stroke. So, it looks like one more early Saturday for me and Maddie before we wrap up swim team for this summer. :)

Her ribbon collection has grown!
