Proud Swim Mom

KILLER WHALES JFK; BIG AND STRONG AND YOU'RE OUR PREY!!!!!



The past five weeks Pie has been participating in a summer swim program. Quite obviously she was on the Kennedy Pool Team, and we were the killer whales (I really wanted a shirt. I might have one made for next year). She had some great friends on the team, and that added to the fun.

The program is an awesome city program, which is very affordable, and teaches the kids the correct way to execute the strokes.

The first week is spent working on freestyle, second week backstroke, third week breaststroke, and fourth week butterfly. On every Thursday we would have a swim meet against the Marcus Marlins.

To say that Pie loved it would be a bit of an understatement. I mean she REALLY LOVED it. Except for the backstroke, not really her thing, and the first day of butterfly was a bit painful.

Here she is practicing the for her breaststroke race, and doing a little dance that goes with it.

Oddly enough her best strokes are breaststroke and butterfly, both of which she can do much quicker than freestyle, go figure. On the fifth week meet the kids get to choose their favorite three races. She chose free, breast, and fly. She just missed the medals by a smidge in the breaststroke, but still came away with two seconds and a third in the first four meets.



We are so proud of her. She is already talking about next season, and beating her times. So happy to be back in my element.

P.S. Is the haircut the cutest thing ever???
