Avery and Brooklyn have always been water fans. I think Avery was the youngest kid to ever pass the swim test that the YMCA requires kids to take in order to jump off the diving board (she was 3). So we decided it was time to be on the swim team. I knew Avery would be all for it, but Brooklyn, even though she loves to swim, she hates waking up early. And swim practice started at 7 am every morning. Not to mention that he pool is pretty cold in June. So I will say, Brooklyn gave it a valiant effort in the beginning. She would wake up, get in the pool and swim for a little while. But then she would poop out, only lasting about 30 minutes. Avery was a little more motivated, but staying in the pool for the total hour and a half was tough!
It was finally time for the first swim meet. Brooklyn opted out (bless her heart). Avery did really well! She even won a couple of races (is that what they are called?).My favorite part was to watch her use her strong body and push it at the end when you could tell it was hard, also, I liked the part where they let the parents jump in the pool for 7 minutes. Its bloody hot here. Yay for swim team!
