The "Lap-a-thon"!!



Wednesday last week was the first "swim meet" that Ma-lak and Rea had since advancing to the swim team! It wasn't really a meet, per se with other schools, but more of a fun team event! The challenge was that they had 2 hours to swim as many laps as they could or wanted to, with just a few breaks to rest if they needed. What a challenge - I was tired just watching them!

It was so fun to see all these kids who just love the water and want to do their best - most of them didn't want to get out of the pool! Ma-lak swam 30 laps and Rea swam 54!! Good job, guys!! (And just as a point of reference - 66 laps is a mile!!)
