first swim team practice


(she hasn't learned how to dive yet)


cailey was THRILLED to be there!


learning how to streamline

When they got in the water the coach said, "Ok...go swim a 100 freestyle." Ummm...that was pushing it for Cailey and she was only able to do a 50. HOWEVER, she was the last kid to go so there were kids already coming back before she started. She tried her BEST the entire practice and did a great job. The coach said that as soon as she gets her hips to the top of the water she'll be able to go faster more efficiently and not get as worn out. I was VERY proud of her because even when she was tired she never gave up.

It's been a few weeks since I wrote this post and Cailey has already built enough endurance to do a 100 free plus 50's of the other strokes! (That was the warm up before the meet on Saturday) GREAT job, Cailey!

Hey, has she learned how to dive yet? If not I'd love to help. I did dive team and swim team as a kid. :)
