After vacation, we came home to a swim meet in Alma. Stephanie N. and I were timers together and thank goodness we had 2 stop watches, because I kept forgetting to set mine (otherwise known as too busy talking.... hard to imagine, right?) Both girls did great, which was surprising after a week away and not enough sleep. Kayla swam her first IM which is 1 lap of each stroke and came in 3rd overall, so she was thrilled to get a medal. The first 3 swimmers overall get a medal and the next 3 get a ribbon. The number of swimmers can range from 6 to 40 or more. We swim with the Alma Gators and swim against Waldron, Russelleville, Clarksville, Paris, Ozark and Mena. This is a great program and I would recommend it to anyone wanting a low key swim team experience. The coaches and managers are great and the kids have a lot of fun. My girls love it and get up early 3 mornings a week in the summer just to practice. The following pic is of Kayla and Coach Matthew and Erin and then Hannah swimming freestyle in the top of the third picture. Kayla got first place overall in the backstroke in Clarksville this past weekend, which is something Hannah has never done, so she was extra proud. Hannah did get 2nd in Butterfly, so she was not far behind. Both girls have enjoyed this season alot!
