Last year was Katelyn's first year on swim team. You may think this is a bit weird since she comes from a long line of swimmers, but I've never been much for competition, so I was just happy with good old fashioned swim lessons. Last year she really had outgrown the lessons, so it was time to step it up a notch. Last year Katelyn wasn't all that excited about swimteam. She did well, even won a 2nd place in backstroke, but we only participated in two meets and that was only because I made her.
This year has been a different story. Her strokes are getting very technically pretty AND she is looking forward to the meets. So far we've done Freestyle, Backstroke (we missed Butterfly) and tonight is the Breaststroke Meet. For each of the strokes she's made the relay teams - you have to be one of the 4 fastest swimmers to make a relay team. We're really proud of Katelyn this year and thought we'd just share a few pictures of her swimming.
Is this a new sport choice? Well, no, not yet - we're still cheerleader's through and through apparently, but she sure is doing well in this one too! Way to go Kate-The-Great! We'll let you know if she makes it all the way on to the "big meet's" later on this summer!
