My family started taking swimming lessons as babies while we lived in Florida. We had a pool in our backyard and they swam constantly. So when we moved here it seemed fitting to continue our love of the pool. It took me a while to find a place. But this school year we did it.
Shelby and Taylor both swam for UVRAYS in Springville. Taylor swims for an hour every day, and Shelby swims for two hours. We love our coaches. They spend a lot of time teaching the kids the strokes and working on weaknesses. We have gone to 5 swim meets and done a great job improving our times each time. Taylor was 2 seconds from making state with her backstroke. We had a great first year!
Just like the Olympics we learn in competition. It isn't always the winning. It is doing our best and feeling good about our accomplishments.
It was fun for the family to go and support the girls at meets. Sometimes there was a long wait in between the next event. But we are fortunate enough to have some creature comforts like video and games. Shelby did a lot of reading as well.I hope I am teaching the kids to be involved. Find what you have an interest in and hopefully you have some skills in the area. Then work at it and enjoy it.
