This summer Kate did swim team! We were a little nervous at first due to the fact that Kate could barely get across the pool. She pulled through! Her first swim race she swam a 1min 30second 25 yard freestyle. Now to those of us in my family who are swimmers we know that time is no where near good. In the beginning of the season Kate used to stop in the middle of the race and wave to her fans. Now she is a bit more serious. At the championships last week she swam the 25 yard freestyle in 41 seconds! Now that is improvement!
At the championships Kate got a 2nd place medal in freestyle, 5th place medal in breastroke, and a 6th place medal in Backstroke. She was so proud and so was I. But nothing could have been more precious than when she got her trophy! She was so excited she was screaming for joy and had the biggest smile on her face I have ever seen. She said, "Mom, I worked so hard for this trophy." That she did. We are so proud of our little swimmer and can't wait for next season! (Ok maybe I can, the last two weeks of practice were brutal due to the 116 degree weather!)
