So, I make all of my kids do swim team. But, they quit as soon as they are allowed (after the first four weeks) But, this kid decided she liked it and kept swimming. She went to divisionals and shocked us all and made it to the semi-finals. She was ranked 8th in Freestyle (barely snuck in) and was ranked 3rd in backstroke. We told her she could get a medal if she really swam hard and boy did she ever.
This is her right before her Freestyle race. She was so nervous she wouldn't smile for the camera. She was on the very end. Her dive was so great that she passed up everyone and got 2nd place and a medal. I was a little in shock and so excited for her.
This is her right before the backstroke race. Once again, looking away from the camera. The little girl looking straight on is the one that won first in Freestyle, Backstroke and Butterfly. Doesn't she look like a serious racer? Clara's start was a little slow and she still managed to pull off another second place medal. She was very proud of herself.
Look at the smile on that champion. BUT, I think the best part was dad took her to Bahama Buck after and she got the avalanche shaved ice. 32 ounces of pure sugar and ice. YUM. She earned it and we had so much fun watching her swim. We love our little racer
CONGRATULATIONS CLARA, WE ARE SO PROUD OF YOU
