Skylar and James's summer swim meet!

We go to one swim meet each summer, just for the fun of swimming in a 50 meter pool. I was really proud of the kids. This was the first time James has done anything more than a 25. He did great on his 50s! Not only that, but both of them did the 200IM in meters! Skylar swam a really great race (especially for being a bit out of shape) and I think James wanted to die. He told me after the race that he never wants to do the 200 again! It took him 6min and 21 seconds, but he finished!
Up next...

Skylar on the blocks for her 100 breast (first time doing this race).


A little tired, but a good race. Now that she is nine, she has to qualify for state again as a 9-10 year old. She is only 5 seconds away, so I was very proud of that swim. Hopefully, in the next year, she can shave 5 seconds.

Skylar and James have a good friend from another team and we only see her at the swim meets. This is Hope, a superstar swimmer. She just may be in the Olympics someday!

Take your marks...


A tired cutie pie.

It was a great day!
