Swimming Competition

Please take a moment to stand and applaud for two VERY good little swimmers.

Maddie and Cady performed SO well today at their competition.
They both swam the 50 meter backstroke.
Cady raced against one other girl and came in second... it was very close!




Maddie challenged three other girls and was ahead the entire time.




It was a photo-finish and from our angle, she won, but was awarded second place. I actually heard the girl who got 1st place say that she was sure Maddie had won, too.
Their coach was almost as proud of them as we were! The improvement of their swimming has been nice to see, but what they really deserve a certificate for is the way they have jumped right in to a new sport in a new culture with a new language and succeeded!
