Swim Team

We all know that Claire loves the water and has been in swim lessons since she was 20 months old. Just like last summer we took a break from our regular swim lessons at the Courthouse and took them at our community pool instead. During our first lesson Crissy (the head instructor) comes to me and says "Claire can swim, she must join swim team!"

I was a little hesitant at first. After all, Claire is only 4 yrs old and we had already missed part of the season and two meets being in Florida. We had camping plans meaning she would miss another meet and several practices. We didn't want to commit to something knowing we wouldn't be able to participate in everything nor make swimming a chore for Claire that she would lose her love of the water. Crissy assured me that is was completely okay and to come when we could. Great! We are in!

Claire LOVED it! She did amazing. We are so proud of her! She competed in the 8 yr and under category, doing the breaststroke, freestyle and 2 relays.

Thanks mom for coming to her first meet and taking/sharing pictures. Dan captured a video (the link is below) of one of the races.
