Swimming with the Sharks!












Our local recreational center has a swim team (The Sharks) that competes in the local swimming league during the summer vacation. Since Beth loves swimming so much & is really good at all the different competition strokes, she joined the team. Practices were on a daily basis during the week with 'swim meets' typically held on a Tuesday night against various local teams including: Shrewsbury, Kirkwood, Ballwin, Sunset Hills, & Chesterfield. Beth usually swam in the following races: 25 yds breaststroke, 25 yds freestyle, 25 yds backstroke, & 100 yds relay. Although she only placed in a few of the races (she was one of the youngest swimmers in her age range & so was at a disadvantage), Beth swam every race without getting disqualified at all throughout the entire season. Good job Beth!
