Prep Team

The girls and I spend a lot of time at the pool.  Once Sofia's spring swim team wrapped up it dropped down to two days a week for Ali to be on the prep team.  I put Ali into the prep team now because it was only four weeks long and meant I would not have to be at the pool five days a week which would have been the case if I had waited until the fall for Ali to do prep.  She wasn't sure if she wanted to do it but given our schedules this was her opportunity.  She was a little nervous on the first day but once settled in she loved it.  It was amazing to watch her move through the four weeks.  She started her laps zig zagging across the lane to being able to swim straight and not be so tired.  Her diving improved as well as all of her strokes.  She is still working on her breast stroke kick but overall she did great and the coach passed her so she can start the swim team in the fall with Sofia.  She is quite proud of herself.  Here is a video from about the middle of her time on prep team.
