I can't believe another year of swim team has come and gone and to be honest I am glad it is over! We weren't one of those "good" swim team families that planned our life around swim team. We missed three weeks due to trips. Even being gone for that time, it still seemed like a long season. I guess it was because Camden struggled a bit this year. Coach moved him up to swim with the 7 &8's during practice to give him some additional challenge. Well a challenge it was! They teach them the butterfly and breaststroke which Camden really had a hard time with. Initially he was very excited to move up but then he found out how much harder he had to work. Let's just say he didn't like that. Camden is such a perfectionist. If he doesn't do it well the first time...he doesn't want to do it and he really doesn't want to do it if it's hard. Hmm...This does make me a tad nervous for the future. He did enjoy swimming both freestyle and backstroke. But when it came to the other strokes there was a whole lot of complaining around here. Well, next year we are going to have to think long and hard about whether or not to do it again next year. We shall see...
Here are a few pics from the season:
Waiting - waiting - waiting! We do lots of this during swim meets.
