Eat My Bubbles...

Posted by Anne Nelson

During the summer I do the Boars Head Swim Team and i have practice every morning from 8am to 9:30 am. It is very tiring when i first get up but then when im done it feels great.. .and i still have the whole day infront of me! Every Wednesday our team competes against another VA team (most of the time in Charlottesville). We race against the other team and there is a winner. At the end of the swim team season we have a giant championship meet with all of the teams. Everybody races against everybody (of coarse in their age group) and there are final places. Every year so far it has been Fairview (1st), Crozet (2nd), Boars Head (3rd) and ACAC (4th). My best stroke is Freestyle but i also love Breaststroke. I am 'good' at Backstroke but i dont like it. My age group swims 50'smost of the time exept when you swim in IM (all 4 strokes) . At the beginning of the season my 50 free time was like 38sec. Now i have pushed it down to 33.19 sec. I am hoping that i can get down to a 30sec. by the end of the season. I encourage everybody, children and adults to swim becasue it feels great and it is a great sport... MY FAVORITE!!!!
Hope to see you soon,
