The kids make personal history!

Both Maya and Scott 

have been swimming on 

the New Wave Swim Team

since September 8th.

Scott started in B/C,

(which means Beginning Competitive),

but was quickly moved up to Maya's group,

which is Level I.

They practice four times a week, an hour each day

from Monday through Thursday.

They work really hard,

they've got great coaches,

and the coolest thing?

They both love it.

Yay!

Their coaches, Michelle and Colleen,

really challenged them yesterday

and by the end of their rigorous practice,

announced that they had swum a mile.

A MILE.

I would have drowned about four laps into it.

(Okay...I'll be honest. Two laps and I would have been done.)

This will put it into perspective:

66 laps = 1 mile.

I'm impressed, but not really surprised.

These are two very impressive kids

that Steven and I have,

and we've known that all along. :)

They are both a bit sore today, but very happy.

Tonight is the final practice for the week.

Now that they know they both swim a mile,

there will be no stopping them.
