The kid's had a great time this summer participating on a swim team. Their Aunt Haley did an amazing job organizing this swim team. It was a lot of local neighborhood kids, and also their cousins. She had 47 kids total participate. She had the meet very well organized, and the kids all got medals, and Kate even got a trophy for fastest team. They learned the backstroke, freestyle, butterfly, breaststroke. Kate is an amazing swimmer. Haley said that her technique on the freestyle is nearly perfect. In fact she is so fast that she raced with the upper class and was competing against kids two or three years older than her. Even with the age difference she still took second place in the backstroke. Kate loves the water, I think she's found her sport! Kirk has really caught onto swimming, and is doing so great, he took third place in the backstroke. This was Benjamin's first year of swim lessons. He made such tremendous progress. At the beginning he couldn't swim at all, now he he can swim with his face in the water the whole length of the pool (with someone right by him he's still not completely confident to swim on his own yet).
It was really fun watching the kids at the swim meet, and show off all of their hard work and effort. We are proud of you guys way to go!
