For the third year in a row, Kate is a part of the Germantown Gators swim team. I just looked back at my very first post about swim team and had to laugh – we were such rookies! Now we are a full-fledged swim team family – we have a pop up shelter and everything. We’ve hit the big leagues!
She is having a great time, and so are we. The team is a fantastic group – and I don’t just mean the kids! The great (and sometimes overwhelming) thing about swim team is that it really does involve the entire family (and a lot of time), and as a result we’ve gotten to know the other families and made some really good friends. The parents and kids are all really supportive of each other, too, which is refreshing.
While I don’t think I’ll be sending Kate off to one of those Olympic training farms any time soon, she is becoming a stronger swimmer every day and I enjoy watching her confidence grow.
And the best part? She has a ton of fun.
Someone remind me how warm and fuzzy I feel about all of this during the 14-hour Championships day, ok?
