Emily's swimming

I know those of you who are reading this have most likely heard me brag about my daughter's swimming.  For some of you, you are not aware of how big a thing this is in our lives.  Emily swims 4-5 days per week.  Almost every school day she is swimming an hour or more, depending on the day. Back in December Emily changed age groups, from 8 and under to 10 and under.  She is nine and was now swimming against kids that are almost 11.  That was huge for her.  She was pulling first places a lot and had finally started to reach the top of the leader boards at the USS meets as well.  Now she is back at the bottom, well sort of the bottom. 

This past weekend, Jan. 29, Emily swam a USS meet in Grosse Pointe Farms.  She had just figured out that what place she takes in a race is not really what matters, but the time she swims does!  She decided to just work on lowering her times for this next year, and since she has decided that she has swam incredibly! 

I am posting two of her events from saturday.  100 freestyle and 50 breaststroke.  These were both very good events for her and she dropped significant time in both!  I am a very proud momma!!
