Tayson had his first day of club swimming today. It started at 7:00 am and he said it was really hard. I think it's going to be a good summer for him.
Then we had our first day of Provo city swim team at 8:30 am.
Claire had to be able to swim all the way across the pool without stopping. During her test she stopped and grabbed the edge of the pool 5 times so they told me she had a few day to practice or she'd get cut. That wasn't really going to work for me - because I'm a crazy mom. So that night we went back to the pool to practice. She swam across the pool 2 times in a row for me. So the next morning I took her back and asked her coach to please test her again. The whole time she was going across the pool I walked along the edge telling her not to stop and that she had to finish. She did it and they kept her on the team. She got so tired and didn't like practice but she kept going if I forced her. Then when we got home she threw up - either from swallowing too much water or working too hard. Either way I felt really bad. But hey - she made the team.
