The FASTest Frogs
Taylin and Tanner have successfully finished their second year with the neighborhood swim team, the F.A.S.T. (Forest Area Swim Team) Frogs! They were both very dedicated, making it to practice everyday after school for the month of May and then every morning, bright and early, 7:45 a.m. to be exact, all of June. There were some cold mornings, but they were brave and did it with a smile!



Tanner was only able to compete in one meet because of our family vacation and because of some football games. He did very well though. He swam...
25 Freestyle in 18.82 sec,
25 Back Stroke in 26.51 sec, and the
25 Breast Stroke in 28.42 sec.

That's a personal best in each stroke.




Taylin had an awesome year too. She added two new strokes to her list, the breast and butterfly. She was able to compete in both, as well as be an important part of the freestyle relay, placing first many times. Her stack of ribbons is amazing! She swam...
25 Freestyle in 25.56 sec,
25 Back Stroke in 29.16 sec,
25 Breast Stroke she is still working on to qualify, and the
25 Butterfly in 35.81 sec.



Check out her arm (that's how they list them so they can get them to their event, heat, and lane for the right stroke). At this particular meet, she placed in the top six in each event she was in! Way to go Taylin!!







She was very happy and worked very hard! Congratulations to both Tanner and Taylin for a job super well done!!

I think that is so cool that your kdis like swimming. I was actually on a swim team in Hg School.
It is a lot of hard work.
Congratulations on another season of swimming!!!

Ok, so I am a looser for not posting sooner! Especially after nagging you for a year to make a blog. :) I am proud of the kids for sticking with the swim team and trying so hard. And I am equally proud of you for updating your blog - much more recently than me. :)
