Summer Swim Team

This is Austin's first year on the swim team. His first swim meet was June 9, 2012. Doesn't he look excited? Getting up at 6:30 am on Saturday morning is obviously not his favorite thing.

Here I am giving Eden a few last minute tips. I'm probably way too involved in their races but honestly, I can't help it. It's just so exciting.

This is the best picture Ryan has ever taken. It's so awesome I looked at it every day for a week, or more. Eden's breastroke is also pretty amazing. She's improved so much.

Once Austin gets in the water he's totally happy. He's a natural. And he has one of the cutest freestyle strokes I've ever seen. We tried to capture a little of his cuteness with these pictures.

He reaches super far into the water and claws his hands in. It's awesome and he's super fast for a five year old.

Dallin took last year off from swim team. We were excited to see how he would do this year.

This unfortunately became a recurring nightmare throughout most of his meets this summer. As soon as he dove in his goggles would fall off. When we finally figured out how to keep his goggles on (using a swim cap) during one of his last meets he dove in with them on his forehead. He had forgotten to even put them on. At least we finally all just laughed at the ridiculousness of it all.

Austin's cute backstroke.

Cameron wasn't feeling well so she sat this meet out. I was a little suspicious, though, she looks fine to me.

Evelyn gave us a run for our money at this swim meet. Her attempts to get into the pool were almost successful many times and one time we found her holding hands with a stranger after we realized no one was watching her. It was crazy. Good thing everyone just thought she was cute.

Austin in all his cuteness. Just check out these series of pictures.

On your mark...
