Maddy has finally learned how to do the butterfly. She has really wanted to get the rhythm down, but did not feel very confident in that stoke. She cried at her first meet because her coach put her in a butterfly race. She ended up doing really well and was happy to swim the butterfly leg in the medley relay (1 girl swims each stroke) last Sat. In the relay she was actually swimming toward me for a change so I was finally able to get a picture of her face. Usually she swims the other way to end up at the timers.

The backstroke is Jacob's best stroke since you can breathe easily during this stroke. He has a tendency to come upright and tread water while he breathes during his other strokes, which as you can imagine does not help your speed. We're working on that. He's having a great time though and burning off a little of his endless energy.

What great swimmers! Looks like Jacob had a great start for his race.
Looks like so much fun!!
I love swim meets. Most of my summer memories are of swim team and swim meets. Way to go Maddy on the butterfly. That's a hard one to master.
Dena, thanks so much for all your good advice and great example.
Wow, they look great!!
