One mile swim and the Olympics

Yes On Friday last week I swam 1 mile with my mom at the local YWCA. It was a wonderful experience and my body felt so happy. In the beginning it was a bit hard but then I kept going on and on and on and didn't even want to stop after the 72nd lap. It is fun now to watch the Olympics in London this year and the swimmers around the whole world are inspiring me. We have been watching the opening ceremony and have been watching vollyball and beach-ball and tennis and track and field and fencing and really love sports

Swimming

Yes I have been swimming a lot lately. It is such a beautiful sport and my body feels very good after I swim. True I am tired but it is a good kind of tired I love to do it as much as I can we go to the YMCA in Newburyport. I go there with my brother and sister and mommy and daddy and last time I went I swim 24 laps. Every time my goal goals up and up and up it is wonderful to be in the water when it is so hot outside. The month of July on our beach on Plum Island there are so many green heads that we just don't go to the beach. So we swim in the pool all a lot. I really enjoyed backstroke and crawl. But I think backstroke might be my favorite. Both my mom and my dad were on swim teams so it is fun to have them as my teachers. We go almost every day sometimes when my daddy gets home sometimes on the weekend for example on Saturday we went for two hours. I think I might try the swim team next year
