Summer Swim League

I am trying to get caught, but decided to start from now and then fill in what I am behind on.

So, Bryn has been on a year round swim team called Swim Atlanta. It has been a great program and we have loved her coach. Back before school was out, her coach asked her if she would like to swim for her on her summer team. We didn't know anything about these summer leagues, but it is a big deal around here. Because most of the communities and sub-divisions have swimming pools, they form teams mostly made up of kids that live in that sub-division. Coach Debbie coach for the team Stonebrier. It is actually very close to our house. The way it worked was they had practice everyday and then a swim meet every Thursday. The last week of June they actually had a meet on Tuesday and Thursday with made 5 swim meets. Then they had finals which were divided up into divisions from all over the Atlanta area. Our division swam in the second of four sessions. They were held at Georgia Tech in the Olympic swim pool! We took second for our division and 7th in all the divisions for finals. During the season Bryn swam anywhere from 4 to 6 events and she always swam 2 relays. She did the freestyle relay and a medley relay. In the individual events she swam back stroke, freestyle, breast stroke, and Individual medley. Some nights she was 50 yards and some nights 25 yards. As a team Stonebrier lost their first meet and won everyone after that. As for Bryn she won lots of first place ribbons as well as a few second place and third place ribbons. It was very exciting and a great experience.
After we swam in the finals, we had to wait from the last two divisions to swim the next day and all the scores to be recorded to see if Bryn would be swimming in the championship meet. In order to swim she had to have placed in the top 10 for relays in her age group and the top 30 in individual events in her age group. When the scores came in, she was so excited- she made it to the championship in both relays and both individual events! She was swimming against 300+ 7-8 year old girls!

WAY TO GO BRYN!!!

Koby watching the meet. Everyone would comment all season about how good of a baby he was. They would all get babysitters for any of kids not swimming!
