Hurricane Swimming 2013

I have wanted to get the kids involved in a summer swim team for years, and felt like they were missing out whenever I would hear about their cousins swimming.  When we lived by Sea World there weren't great swim team options.  After we moved I was happy to hear there was an open swim team in a neighborhood fairly close to ours.  We just had to sign up before they hit their 130 max.  Someone from the ward forwarded me the email with the information and I went to the pool on a Saturday to sign them up.  Because they were new to the team, they had to try out and show the coach that they could swim across the pool.  I was worried because I didn't know if Julia could make it all the way across the pool without stopping.  I had Matt take her to the pool a couple of times to have her practice.  They all did great and made the team.

Championship Meet 7-13-13 at Northside Aquatic Center

For the Championship swim meet, they score differently than the the rest of the swim meets. They score them by each age, so all the 7 year olds are competing against each other instead of the combined 7 and 8 year olds.  The kids did great with their swimming.  We are very proud of how much they have improved.  Results:

Julia

7th- 7&U 25 yd. back - 34.73

12th-7&U 25 yd. free - 34.97
