Back in September I signed Olivia up to be on the swim team at the local YMCA. There were several options for her participation, and we chose the option where she practiced with the team and competed only in inter-squad (practice) meets. We didn't want to go off or spend a lot of money for the out-of-town meets because she did not know anything about competitive swimming or about the different strokes. Olivia has enjoyed swimming immensely and has learned a lot. The summer/rec swim season is approaching and she will be participating in the some of the local swim meets. She is pretty excited about this.
Olivia is not the only one who has been hitting the pool. I also did not know how to swim properly, so I took a triathlon swim class. Quincy and several of my friends were also in the class, so that made it really fun. I learned a lot in the short time I was in the class, and I can really tell that my stroke has improved. Hopefully this will pay off and I won't finish dead last in the swim portion of my next tri.
