Kadi joined the swim team!
Can you guess which swimmer is her?
As many of you know, Kadi decided not to continue with gymnastics as it was extremely difficult for her. She needs to be active to help her keep mobile and work her joints, so swimming it is! SHE LOVES IT! I was afraid she would complain that is was too hard -- they swim solid laps for 1 - 1 1/2 hours per day! WOW! I don't think I could do that! Her practice schedule is Monday - Thursday, and she has her choice to swim 7am-8:30am OR 7pm - 8pm. We usually try for the morning unless we have a conflict!

Meets consists of Medley relays, up to 3 individual events, and end relays. They last from 8-12ish.
She had her first practice meet on Saturday, June 3. She arrived at 7am to "warm up." It tires me just watching them swim. For the medley relay beginning at 8am, she swam the free stroke (front crawl) helping her team acheive 2nd place. She only competed in one individual event for her first meet and boy did I get scolded for that! (I signed her up earlier in the week). Her event was the 8 and unders 25M Free Style , and she did extremely well. I was one proud mama! Here she is reaching the finish line!

I am continously amazed at her confidence and self esteem! God sure made one special child when he created her! I thank Him each day for allowing me to be her mother!
Upcoming - she is continuing to work on improving her free style and breast stroke. She will learn the back stroke next. Say a prayer for her as she will be dealing with those internal rotated shoulders! I have no doubt she will conquer all!!!
