Katelyn so excited she got second. I thought she got first-it was that close.

Katelyn warming up with the Parry Paranahs.


This year we decided to have Katelyn try swim team over at Parry pool. She diligently wakes up at 6:45 am to make sure she is ready to leave the house at 7:40 am. She attends practice Monday thru Thursday for 40 mins. each time. Every week they learn a new stroke. So far they have conquered the backstroke and freestyle. They practice the assigned stroke for that week and then they are able to participate in a swim on Thursday nights. This last week we had our first meet, Katelyn competed in the 25 meter backstroke and the 25 meter freestyle. She was pretty nervous but she did great. Katelyn got 5th place in the backstroke (she was pretty bummed) and 2nd place in the freestyle. We are proud of her she has turned into a little fish this summer and she is enjoying every minute of it! She loves the fact that she does all this with her good friend Shayne (I do too, it helps with the carpool!). Good job Katelyn!!
