Ready, Set, Go

Natalie has moved up from beginner to Intermediate. She's working hard on her endurance, with her first meet just a few weeks away.


Way to go Natalie, and keep up the good work!

Season Starting!

The new swim season will begin next Monday. Practice, practice, practice. I will beat my personal best this year!

My first meet

I placed 3rd in my first meet on Friday night. We competed against St. Joe Aquatics and I swam backstroke and freestyle. All of my hard work finally paid off. My next meet is in 2 weeks. I can't wait!

Swim Team Changes

I have some unfortunate news. Our local YMCA has cancelled swim team for the summer. It is quite devastating for all of us, as we were looking forward to our first competition.

On a better note, after several phone calls, Natalie is able to join the Swim Bees team, which is from a local school district. Practice begins next week, so hopefully we still get to compete after all.

Meet Schedule

I have recieved Natalie's meet schedule for the summer. Her first meet will be Friday, June 6. We are very excited, as this is her first. We have been practicing since February for this big day that is approaching. Stay tuned for pictures and movies....

What a deal

It was finally time to get new bathing suits. The ones we have are falling apart literally. The chlorine is definitely potent.

We got 2 new suits today, a 1 piece Nike, and a tankini speedo. Both for around $20. TJMaxx is the best! We are stylish, and ready to go!

Update

Well since Natalie hasn't wanted to post anything recently, I decided to take the effort to update everyone. The next swim session begins next week, and its crunch time for Natalie's first competition.
Natalie has been working on her start everyday. Her dive has improved quite a bit. I can see she is getting stronger everyday. I'm going to try to start taking pictures and videos of the events!

Never Give Up

When the world gives up, when everybody elses gives up, the only one person that will never ever give up is you. Because you follow your dreams and never give up. When your dreams tell you what your life wants to be you go for it, try and try and never give up.

Your favorite thing in life is the thing you never give up on.!

Swim Girl Starts

When I had just started to join the swim team I had to work hard!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! To be on the swim team you have to have strong legs and arms. You have to listen very well to know what you are sopposed to do. You have to learn to be really fast. At the boards you have to have your arms behind your ears and jump really far with your knees. You also need to exercise with other activities like biking, running, jump roping. Before I forget the most important thing when exercising is to have fun. Stay tuned...
