Okay, so she's not Olympic bound YET, but..... Alyssa started swim team this summer. After trying quite a few sports and usually coming to the same conclusion- she LOVES being part of a team and socializing she just isn't aggressive enough to be great- we decided to let her swim. She swims all summer as it is and we are already at the Y most days so why not? So we paid the fees and bought the suit, and after a month of 7 am practices she had her first meet. I must brag briefly and tell you how great she did! She finished 1st in the 25 freestyle, 1st in the 25 breaststroke, and 2nd in the 25 butterfly! She was quite proud of herself and her ribbons she got. We just had the second swim meet of the season and she finished 2nd in the freestyle and breaststroke and 6th in backstroke. It was her first time to ever compete in backstroke! While she is probably never going to be the fastest kid at anything- her and Wes NEVER get in a hurry!!- she is an awesome swimmer and its been so fun so far. She doesn't even complain about the early practices, she just sleeps in a swimsuit!
