Competitive swimming...love the sport. I think one of the things that makes a weekend of sitting in a sweltering pool bearable is because back in the day my parents did it for me.
Kelly loves the sport too. She can't get enough time in the pool, she is always giggling with all the silly little girls on the team, and now a new twist...she has taken pride in achieving personal goals.
It is fantastic how all the SWAT team members cheer each other on, and celebrate each others victories. This weekend Kelly had some big accomplishments of her own when Friday night she achieved her first state cut in the 200 meter IM at the punie age of 9. Then another cut in the 100 meter back the next day. The best part for me was that I could see she was proud of herself. Last night after the meet we found a story she started. She is sometimes hard to read, so it is so fun to get a peek at what is floating around in her head.
The story starts out...."Hi, I'm Kelly McElvain. I wanted to tell you about me a young little three year old girl".....a good start to all the chapters, going though to the last chapter...."How Unexpectedly" Hmmmmm?
I can't wait to find out where her story leads her.
