Savannah participated on the YMCA swim team this fall. She did conditioning with the YMCA during the summer, but the season of competitive swimming started in September. To get on the team, she had to swim 8 laps and then also swim 4 laps in under 2 minutes. They do one meet per month, so she participated in the September and October meet. She was all set to swim in the November meet and then I forgot to sign her up for the meet... I was supposed to register her by the Wednesday before the Saturday meet. We had even talked about what events she wanted to do before the practice that day. I still forgot. I bolted awake Friday morning realizing I hadn't signed her up. I tried to see if I could still register her but they wouldn't accept any late registrations. I felt so bad about it (not winning any parenting awards for that mistake)...
She swam the 50m backstroke, 50m breaststroke, and 50m freestyle in the 2 meets and improved her time in each of the events by the 2nd meet. She even got 1st place in one of her races. She has a couple of good friends on the swim team, so it's been fun for her. She's a pretty good swimmer too.
By December, we had to temporarily quit swimming since it directly conflicted with basketball. She'll get back on the swim team in February or March.
