Have swimsuit, will travel!

 It’s been a few weeks since my kids have been in the water! They are literally fish out of water. So thankfully we’re kicking off summer break in Tucson at Gigi and Papa’s house. But when we return we’ve got swim meets on the schedule and we need to be ready to go.

I reached out to Flying Fish Arizona Swim Team (FAST) in Oro Valley and they graciously have allowed our fish to swim with their fish. I think the girls were nervous and a little apprehensive at first...but it’s good practice for moving to Spain, right?!?!

After the first night they were hooked. The Oro Valley Aquatic Center and Community Center are both beautiful facilities. They have three pools, long course and short and about 50 lanes. Yes!!! I said 50.

The coaches have been impressed with how well the girls swim. Coach Nancy and Coach Lina are so friendly and helpful. The girls are feeling right at home, and bonus they’ll be ready for our meets as soon as we get home.

On another note, Y state times came out and Leah rocked it! She took 12th place in the state for the 50 backstroke, 100 backstroke and the 50 butterfly. She crushed it in the 100 butterfly and took 10th. So proud of how hard she’s worked this past year. 

I’m getting excited to see them grow and thrive at swim and all the things they encounter in Spain!
