More Swimming

We had a great end to the swim season this year. Edison and Charlotte both kept swimming really well. Charlotte is awesome at the breaststroke while Edison specializes in backstroke.

 

 

After the last home meet of the year, the 12 and under kids had a big sleep over in the clubhouse. They stayed up late swimming and watching movies. We could hear them at our house chanting "belly flop" at 11 at night when they were still playing in the pool. Needless to say they slept a lot the next day.

 We did some tubing on Lake Washington, too. The kids' new technique, to make it more exciting, is to hang off the tube on the front to try to submarine it and fall off.

 

Eben and I  participated in the swim league's adult summer swim meet. It was really fun to do our first swim meet together, though we had to keep reminding ourselves we weren't 18 anymore!

 I did 50 Back, 50 Free, and two relays.

 Eben did two relays, 25 Back and 100 IM.

 Aqua Club won the meet! This is us with our coach, Mike.

 Charlotte and Chloe had a lot of fun twinning this year at swim practice. They had one last occasion to do so at northern prelims.

 This was Edison helping out with the Aqua Club pre-meet cheer at boys northern prelims.

 

The kids have also gotten a lot of dive practice in this summer. Even Reed is getting in the spirit, but he couldn't quite decide what kind of a landing he wanted and ended up doing a face flop.
