Summer Swim

After several summers of watching cousins participate in swim meets, the boys decided they wanted to give it a try. I was all for it until I found out practices were at 6:30 every single morning!! Oh, well, what we do for our kids! Noah sure is cute with that swimmer's cap on.

Their very first swim meet! Our team was so small that there was never any possibility of us winning a meet so it was all about individual success.

Because Xander and Noah were beginners they only swam in the freestyle races in this first meet. Noah getting ready...

And there he goes!

Great job, Noah!

Ready...

Swimming his heart out.

Thank goodness the top six in each race are awarded a ribbon - these boys were all smiles to earn their very first ribbons!
