Monday, Lydia "tried-out" for the Sharks swim team at the Santa Monica Swim Center, which was basically weeding out the kids that couldn't swim consistent laps. I was really proud of her and didn't realize how hard it was until I saw kids crying and giving up after one lap, but Lydia kept on going. Today was her first day on the team and she said it went well. The first 25-30 minutes is spent doing dry exercises...stretches, sit-ups, etc. and the next hour is spent swimming laps. It's been quite an adjustment going to the pool twice week for thirty minute lessons to going three times a week for 1.5 hours, but I know that Lydia can do it.
I got the girls swim caps to help protect their hair, but so many kids said that her cat was "so cute" that Lydia didn't want to wear hers anymore.
Waiting for the swim team instructor to tell her to go.
