Swim Practice

Swim practice started on Tuesday. This year for the first time the kids are not practicing at the same time. A's is 10-11, M's is 11-12. I've seen it before, but it really struck me today how different the practices are. The big kid practice is mostly just swim laps. The coach tells them how many laps to do of what and they're off and swimming. With the little kids its a lot more constant direction and attention from the coach.

A is working on his backstroke here. It's hard to learn to keep in the center of the lane - especially when several kids are practicing in the same lane together.


M is working on his breaststroke. It took me several tries to get a shot of him with his head up, breathing. The first two pretty much all you could see was the top of his head.
