Swim Team

Dearest Torpedoes,

We signed up for another season of summer swim team and one of you (Hi, Colt!) was more enthusiastic about it than the other.  Luckily, our long-time friends and newest neighbors (Hi, Vaughns!) signed up too so that made it better!  Swim practices started in mid-May and had us at the pool each afternoon from 4:30 - 6:00.






Once summer started, the daily schedule moved to lessons from 8:00 - 9:30.  Camps sometimes got in the way of practice so we had to have a few private lessons with Coach Halle. 
 

For the first swim meet, Michelle and I were in charge of this crazy group of boys! 




Colt, you improved so much that you won your heat!!


Your swim team bestie, Connor, was the other heat winner!


Jax, you took home some ribbons too!


For the next meet, Michelle and I tried our hands at timing.


While timing made the meet speed by, it didn't provide many photo opps.  Luckily, Anja sent me some pics she took.


 

The most fun private lesson of the season was shared with friends (so I guess that makes it a semi-private lesson...).  The love for Coach Halle is real!


Swim meet #3 included a special spectator - Grandma!!









The final meet of the season for us was an away meet that had us leaving the house earlier than usual.


But the hosting neighborhood is so pretty that it was worth the early morning!







You both improved a lot this season!  Colt, you become stronger and faster on your freestyle and backstroke.  Jax, you ventured into 50M races (earning a spot on the All Star team for this event!) and even ribboned in the butterfly!  


It was a fun season with these torpedoes!
