Swim Team

This summer Roman has been enjoying Swim Team! It's a big commitment (for James! hehe) with daily practices at 8am. I can not tell you how proud we are of this kid. He gets up every morning with a smile, throws on his suit and heads to the pool by scooter while James struggles to get him and the girls caught up to him. He is loving and thriving on swim team. Two great coaches, Coach Ally and Coach Brian. This is his first non-team sport and it's taken awhile to sink in that yeah, he's part of a team, but more importantly he needs to concentrate on HIS strokes, HIS times, it's really about HIM. Once he got that through his thick skull he's been thriving. He is doing great on all 4 strokes and mastering his freestyle. In fact he was awarded the Coaches Award for model behavior (lol who'd have thought THAT! LOL) AND swam his relay team to a 1st place finish earning himself a spot on relay for Champs! That's a BIG deal in swimming, but especially as a first year!

Coach Brian has been recruiting Hope all summer who we informed had to swim the length of the pool unassisted before joining. Of course by mid summer she did and B was right behind her, so looking like we'll have 3 on swim team for next summer!
