This spring Emma started swim team. It was alot of work! From the get go they were swimming laps for 30-45 minutes a day. She was exhausted, until she built up the endurance. She was so cute out there and she placed in every single event. Every meet she took huge amounts off her best time. We would have loved for her to swim in our regional meet, but it was on Sunday, so maybe next year it will be on a Saturday.
Swimming was a great sport for Emma, because the cut off is right before her birthday, so she is the very oldest in her age group, instead of the youngest like all the other sports. So, that meant she was swimming in the 4-6 year old group. Some of the other kids came up just above her waist.
I wish I had a video clip of her jumping off the blocks...we are still working on our dive.
She did backstoke and freestyle and then a bunch of relays. One meet she even did the butterfly in one of the relays. Go EMMA!
I know, she is going to love this picture when she's a teenager.
If their relay started on the shallow end they did an inwater start....here she is waiting.
Here is another one...
There she goes!
At one of her first meets....I know its hard to tell the stroke, but by the end of the season you could tell she was doing freestyle.
She got a slow start on this one, but quickly caught up.
