This July we made the month long commitment to put Taylor on the community swim team. Taylor loves to swim and it really started to catch on last summer. We were super excited that he was finally old enough to participate on the Shooting Stars. He's learned a lot including, freestyle, backstroke, diving starts, water starts, flipper kicking with kickboards, floating on his back, and most importantly breathing. I'm sure Taylor could have done without the 7am wake-up call, 3 days a week, to be in the pool by 7:30am. I'm happy that next year we'll be in the next age group that gets to start at 8:30am! I hope this is just the beginning to a lifelong love of swimming!
Watch out Michael Phelps and Ryan Lochte!

Loves the girls already...what a smile!
Overall, I think it was a great success and we're excited to return next year!
