VSL Champs- July 27th- JMU

Champs was actually on July 27th so this is a little bit out of order, but hey...I'm luck to have time to blog about it! (The kids are currently at the beach with my parents- THANK YOU MOM and DAD!!!)  Alexis and Ethan have worked all summer for this moment.  Although we didn't do champs last year, they wanted to do it this season, so we did!  They are champs!  We arrived at the pool at 7am....and left around 11:30am.  Here are a few pics.....

Here are the highlights from the season.....Alexis and Ethan both got lots of 2-8th place ribbons for their events.  Alexis won her heat at Champs for Freestyle and so she immediately got a ribbon for winning her heat!!!!! YAY! Ethan's Freestyle time improved from 25.86 to 20.99; his backstroke time from 26.25 to 25.45!  Alexis's Freestyle time improved from 37.69 to 24.07!!!!; her backstoke time from 48.25 to 30.99!!!  The kids did AMAZING!!!! They really are great swimmers and what a sense of accomplishment for them to do something great!!! Congrats you two!  You did AWESOME!
