Julia's summer highlight was participating in her first swim team - she is officially a Greenwich Gator! Julia has often told us that her swimming goal is to be on the swim team at our regular year-round, swim club. She is still a couple of levels away from qualifying for that and so Andrew and I thought this opportunity would allow her to get a taste of the swim team experience to see if it's goal she really wants to pursue.... The short answer is YES!
She showed up for every 7:30am practice with a smile on her face and excitement just beaming out of her. Her enthusiasm was reinforced when she was recognized as the Gator of the Week the first week of practice for her fantastic attitude and listening skills. And it was reinforced more when she received her first set of ribbons... and her second, third, and fourth sets of ribbons!
