For the entire school year, Madilyn continued to ask if she could swim on a team again. So, of course, this summer we enrolled her in the City of Phoenix aquatics program for the second year in a row. This swimming season Madi is swimming for the Sunnyslope Sharks. Selfishly, Josh and I moved her to a new pool this year as the swim practice time is more favorable with our work schedules. Madi didn't care; she just wanted to swim.
Madilyn's first swim meet of the season was this past Thursday. I have stated this previously, but what a difference a year makes. Madilyn looked really strong; definitely, more skilled in her strokes than last year. She exuded confidence and comfortability. And to top it off, she enjoyed herself. She was having fun, which, in turn, made watching her swim fun for us. Cannot wait to see how much she improves during the duration of the season. Go Sharks!
