We were very sad to miss the end of the summer swim team banquet, but the kids were thrilled to find awards delivered by Coach Kevin when we got home from the beach.
We are so proud of our little sharks for trying their best this summer. In addition to their participation trophies, and race ribbons each of the kids got special awards voted on by the coaches.
Elise received Most Dedicated Swimmer. She was thrilled, as were David and I, that the coaches recognized her efforts. She truly is dedicated- many times practicing her strokes while we are at the pool for fun, and never wanting to miss a practice.
Lila and Bennett each were awarded the spirit award!! They do have some serious shark spirit and love to cheer their team mates.
Some mornings, I must be honest, it would be nice to sleep a little later in the summer since we would be able to if it were not for swim team. But the fun with the neighborhood kids, the relationships they have built with the coaches, and the improvement I have seen in their swimming (a MUST when you live in South Louisiana around a LOT of water) are so worth it and I am thrilled that they had another great summer of swimming for the sharks.
