The girls have been playing year round soccer for the last couple of years and started getting burnt out. Although we enjoyed the competitive side of watching them play, us parents were getting warn out as well. So this summer, they decided to join the Naches Swim Team. They became strong little swimmers, diving off the diving block and swimming freestyle, breast stroke, back stroke, and even butterfly.
They practiced 5 days a week and I found myself with more wet crumpled up suits, dirty towels, caps and goggles laying around then I cared for. But, it is a sport that I have always loved and the girls could swim every day if I'd let them so it was win-win with an added plus of obtaining a preventative life-saving skill.
