Lucy wrapped up her second swim season last night at her team's swim banquet. This was a fun year since her team moved up to division 6 (the lower the number, the better the division). They went undefeated and had so many team record breakers. This year also marked the first time Lucy swam in an "A" meet, swimming butterfly and shaving 14 seconds off her previous time. She received a trophy for her participation as well as a "paper plate" award titled the "mother duck" award. She got this since she is one of the "little ducks" to one of the older girls on the team, Caroline. She follows her everywhere and Caroline takes care of her at swim meets. They have formed a great friendship this summer so the paper plate award speaks to her time on the sidelines at the meets. Another great award would have been "most likely to be found atop the coach's shoulder" since this is the other place she could be found during the meets.
At the completion of the season, Lucy was swimming freestyle, backstroke and butterfly in B meets. She finished the last day of practice with a personal best in both butterfly and freestyle. She is eager to add breaststroke so will be wanting to work on them in the off season.
She is sad to see the season end since it is her favorite of all her extra curricular activities, but it will be nice to have some down time in August before school and soccer, winter swim, Brownies, Lego club, running club... start. Now its just time to swim and play and sleep-in (hear that Graham and Harper?, we are sleeping in!)
