Sissy swims on a non-competitive swim team with our local aquatic center. However, in the summertime, they have meets with other local teams, who all range in skill level and competitiveness. It's a fun way for Sissy to compare her ability against others, and to also have the excitement of a swim meet. Booney likes these meets because she can use her hollering skills to cheer Sissy on. Booney's big mouth hollers as loudly as an ape on fire.
We spend a fair amount of time watching Sissy practice, but the evenings are so nice it's hardly a sacrifice.
And then we get to watch her compete, which is the best part...well...minus the baby-wrestling. Apparently a 1-year-old isn't keen to sit nicely in the bleachers during swim meets. I don't know what that's about.
In any case, we sit and wrestle and holler and beam with pride.
It's even inspired Baby to be a swimmer like her sister.
Sissy is contemplating joining the middle school swim team in the fall.
I sure hope she does.
I just can't get enough of the baby-wrestling.
