Our Little Fishies

YAY! Swim season started today. Candyce is a seasoned veteran, but Kassidy raced her first races of her career! She did amazingly well and even shaved 20 seconds off of her stroke times. She is really into it and we don't have to "motivate" her to go to practice and meets. She is always excited to go. Definitely she was meant for the pool! We were kind of worried going into it because one of the requirements for the "newbie" swimmers was to be able to swim the length of the pool in less than 3 minutes...well we didn't know if Kass could do it, but now she can do the freestyle and backstroke in less than a minute each!

Candyce had some extra motivation today. She was not able to be timed at the team's practice meet and had to get timed after a tiring day of practice. Her times were not her fastest so she was not placed in any relay teams. Well that gave her the motivation to turn up the speed as she bested all of her strokes and placed her in the top 6 of each event. She qualified for an invitation only meet and will definitely be helping her team out in future relays! GO FLYERS:
