They Done Good

One of the challenges of being a swimmer is that swimming is not a seasonal sport. It’s a year-round, full-time commitment once you really decide to commit.

Number 3 and 4 first joined the swim team six years ago. They swam on the town team which only swims in the summer and practices in the lake at the town beach. It’s a rinky dink little team, but it was the perfect introduction to swim team for them. They both loved it. Of […]
