les poisson

Swim team has turned my kids into "les poisson". 


(Don't you just involuntarily start humming that Disney song? Oh, maybe that's just me.)  


These little fish certainly aren't winning any races, but their bronzed, strong bodies are so adorable.  It's fun to watch them work hard to beat their own time.

Go Stingrays!

D flapping his arms ala Michael Phelps just before he belly-dives in.  Thankfully D doesn't seem to mind that he's last in virtually every heat!

Little FK isn't officially on the team, but she got to swim one lap (actually she was sorta carried by a coach) during the last home meet of the season.  She's my nervous little Stinger...in pink!

...waiting for her turn.

I did it!
The participant ribbon means she gets a free snow cone.  This promise was the only thing that got her in the water with no tears!

The parents are all thrilled that this season of swim team is finished! Wahoo!  Stu was such a trooper to work the facilities committee this year and do all the heavy lifting during set-up and take-down for many, many meets.  

Great swimming this year, my little fishes!
