SWIM TEAM (6 YRS OLD)

S had her first swim meet as one of the red Dick Nickol's Devil Rays and she made mama proud! She swam nine 25 meter laps, several free-style, one back stroke, and a couple of breast strokes.She made it all the way through practice without quitting, but visibly tired by the end of the practice. S got out of the pool very pleased with herself and watched the video of her swim over and over again. Mama and S celebrated with a popsicle.

S's actual practice time was at noon and only lasted half an hour; the red team practice time was listed as 10 am to 12:30 pm. Luckily, the older kids (10+, 10&9) went first. Good thing! There was no way S (or any of the kids 8 and under) could swim for two-and-half hours. Her age group (8 and under) was divided into two groups, first timers and repeaters. All of the first timers, approximately ten kids, were about the same levels.

Swim meets start immediately; the first one is this Saturday!
