Madison and Ryan have been working hard on their swimming for 3 months now. Earlier in the summer they began swim team at the YMCA and now have joined Mesa Aquatics, which is a USA swimming club. They get to swim in a beautiful, brand new Olympic size pool just 5 minutes from our house! We are impressed with how they've improved on their freestyle, backstroke, breaststroke, and butterfly! They are learning to jump off the starting blocks and using different training techniques. Their workout lasts a little over an hour and is 3 days a week, so they are in great shape now!
Of course the competitor in me loves every minute of watching them......(aside from sitting in the 108 degree heat with 2 hot toddlers). Right now they are swimming as "non-competitors" - which means they work out with the team but are not entering any meets. For now - it is a cool way for them to get a great workout and good experiences! Maybe later we'll look into the Olympic Trials...... :)
