Swim team!

 Mira had her swim team tryout this week and we are thrilled to say she made the team! She had to demonstrate the four Olympic strokes (breast, back, freestyle, and butterfly). She did them beautifully and now is a member of the Life Time Fitness Cubs swim team. Above and below are two photos of her at the tryout.

Here is Mira right before her first official practice. She practices two times a week for an hour. It's nice because we get to choose the days she practices. There are 5 days to choose from and, as long as she comes twice a week, we can choose any day on any week. We are thinking Wednesdays and Saturdays for now. Our neighbor has a daughter who also just made the swim team, so Mira will have a friend on the team too! So far, we've had to buy a swim cap and flippers. Mira will get her team suit in a couple of weeks. We're not sure when the meets are, but are looking forward to seeing Mira compete!
