Summer Swim Team

This was our second year participating in the Dutchman Downs Swim Team.  In addition, to Titus swimming this year, Amber joined the team as well.  

Its no surprise that Amber won the "Most Improved Swimmer" award at tonight Swim Award Party.  At the beginning of the season she couldn't swim, wouldn't jump in the pool unless someone was there to catch her and the first few tournaments needed someone in the water walking beside her to swim 15 yards.  By the end of the season she competed in the City Wide Meet, swimming across a 25 meter pool all my herself and jumping in off the blocks.

We are always reminding our children that how they do things, their character is what matters most.  Therefore, we couldn't have been more proud today when they announced that Titus was given the "Sportsmanship Award" by his coaches.  In addition to this great honor, he swam really well throughout the season, winning quite a few point heats. I think we may have a real swimmer on our hands. 

We are very thankful we found this pool, the young people that run the team are all so kind and encouraging.  Can't wait for next summer.
