Well, we have come a long way from holding onto the lane lines mid race and the realization that your first year on swim team may mean you will lose a few races..... We told our teary eyed kids after the first meet when they wanted to quit...that this season was about getting better and improving over the summer. We wanted them to work hard and see if they could improve their times over the course of the summer.
They spanked their old times!!!!
Luke improved 20 seconds in his 50yd free, 7 seconds in the backstroke and 9 seconds in his 50 breaststroke!!!!
Hope swam 33 seconds in the 25 butterfly ( her first time racing this one....finishing 2nd in her race) She went 3 second faster in her 25 breaststroke and she got 2nd place in her backstroke race!!!!
We are sooooo proud of them...for sticking with it and improving so much. Way to go Luke and Hope!!!!
Will they swim for Canada or the USA in the Olympics???? hmmm............
Check them out: Hope is in the pink bathing suit in lane 3.

That is so cool! Thanks for posting that! My kids were watching too, and they were yelling "go Hope" and "go Luke" at the computer! They are loving it! Breanne said that you should make Ella do it too!
Maybe you could just post a picture of Ella doing something else. Anyway, that looks like a lot of fun!
Wow I am so proud of you both...you are amazing! Jonece and Dene say way to go Hope!
Woohoo! Awesome! They're taking after their daddy I see!
