Jenna, Jaley and Kerst are on the swim team this summer. We practice at our pool which is just around the corner (I bet any of the guys in our family could throw a ball from our deck and hit the pool grounds...not necessarily the pool). Jaley leaves the house at 6:50 a.m. and walk to the pool for daily practice. Kerst and I follow at 7:55. Jenna heads over at 8:45 and Kerst comes back (I go pick him up, although he wants to do it himself...).
The coaching staff has more adults on it here. They are great, although we loved the teenagers at the other pool (Kerst loved the girl coaches there ;o) ). Same rules in swimming. The meets are longer. Yesterday the meet went from 8-2. In IL they ended by noon. Larger teams. The team we raced yesterday was for a neighboring city. These kids had to try out for the team. Over 80,000 homes in in that city. I'm glad our little community pool (not that small of a pool, just the right size) has a swimteam that doesn't require trying out. Our team this year is a lot larger and they are thrilled. We have about 160 swimmers. In IL we had about 40.
I LOVE having the pool so close. We can just zip over there really quick for a quick dip. Our cul-de-sac is well enough hidden that pool over flow parking doesn't make it to our street. It will be awesome next Saturday when the swimmeet is at our pool. We won't have to worry about parking at all!
Come visit! Visitors are free at our pool!
