Swim Season

When Krissia graduated last year and decided not to pursue collegiate swim career, we assumed our days as "swim parents" would be over.  However, after a stint on the summer rec swim team, Jefferson decided to give high school competitive swimming a try.

Unlike Krissia, Jefferson did not swim much while growing up because his frequent illnesses didn't allow it.  Luckily, he seems to be blessed with some natural talent like his sister because he was able to step in as one of the best freshmen on the team!

Jefferson worked hard and improved his time with every meet.  His best stroke happens to be...the backstroke (no surprise there).  He barely missed qualifying for state in this event; I'm sure with another year of training and physical growth, he'll make it :)

Here are a few pictures from the season:


This is going to be the last installment for a bit, as spring break is upon us and we have some special plans in the works...please check back next week :)

I bet Jefferson is glad his school doesn't make him wear a speedo! Or is that a personal choice? Anyway, way to go Jeff! Too me there is nothing better than watching my kids participate in something they enjoy!

Who knew Jeff had it in him?! Sounds like he will just get better and better. Good luck!
