We are in the heart of swim season and the Stewart kids are all swimming.
Andrew is doing his 9th year of swim team.
Sophie has started her 3rd year.
Jackson and Lydia are doing their first year
and
Audrey is taking swim lessons!
So needless to say we are spending LOTS of time at the pool and going through LOTS of sunscreen!
Swim meets are fun and hot and loooonnnng!
We arrived at the pool at 7:00 Saturday morning and were back home at 2:00.
Lydia swims Freestyle, Backstroke,and Butterfly.
She has a cute pair of goggles but prefers to swim without goggles!
She gets very nervous each time she swims but always does a great job.
Sophie swims Free, Back, and Breast.
She is learning flip turns this year and now has to swim 2 links so this has been a big transitional year for her.
I like the kids to swim because they get to be a part of a team but they really compete against themselves. It also makes me feel much better about them being around water knowing that they are good swimmers. Its obviously GREAT exercise, burns off lots of wiggly energy and makes them sleep very well at night!
All good stuff in my opinion!
Jackson who just last week was terrified to swim at an away meet and clung to the rope until a lifeguard jumped in to save him....yes......really! We are never at a shortage for drama! Saturday he was so brave and swam not only free style, but also back stroke, and butterfly. He even won for his heat in butterfly....he also got disqualified because he stood up to breathe midway through the race....but it didn't damper his spirits in the least!
I love seeing him taste success!
He is a sweet boy.
Audrey has fun hanging out with all her swim team buddies and cheering on the Orcas!
She can't wait to be on the team next year!
Andrew is a good, solid, swimmer.
He swims Free, Breast, and Fly.
He's enjoying his role as captain this year.
He was very excited to swim on the B relay on Saturday since Jay had to leave early.
It was a long meet but we enjoyed it~
Hope you had a great weekend!
