Swim Team Time!

It is summer in Houston and you all know that means Summer League Swim Team! The boys are proud members of the Plaza Oaks Piranhas (You Gotta Wanna Be a Piranha is our slogan) for Jake's 3rd year in a row and Josh's 1st time ever.

Both boys are doing great and improving with each meet. Josh is so sweet and one of the younger members of the team, but man when he is ready he is so focused. He even waves the coaches away when they come to give him a pep talk.

Jake is a tough competitor and swims freestyle, breaststroke and butterfly. Right now he is the team's fastest 7-8 year old breaststroker and butterflier as a 7 year old! He loves swimming and takes it pretty hard if he doesn't win a blue ribbon each time out.

In about a week from now we have Meet of Champs and are looking forward to it.

We are still working on the dive. Notice the leg goes in first.

It is so fun seeing the boys swim! They learn something each meet...like this last meet, Josh told his Mom,"A boy named Carter said if we win we get to jump in the pool! Can we stay til the end?!!" They def have the 'team' concept down!!! I'm a proud grandma!!
