Love My Boy

Sometimes teenage boys are a little tricky to get along with.

And sometimes you pick them up at the pool and they grab your hand and hold it all the way to the van like they used to when they were little.

Love that.

Roller Skating Fun!

The swim club decided to start the year off with a big bash at Lloyd's. I love going there. It has hardly changed at all since I used to go there every Saturday when I was 12!! Of course, my kids are way cooler than I ever was.

Well, sort of. Who is that kid in the piggies anyway?!! No self-esteem issues there!

 

 

Peirce and all his girls.

New Swim Season

HLast week swimming started. It feels like it never stopped. Well, sort of. This past summer was a harrowing one in our swim club.

Story summary: 

1. The board fired the coach

2. The members said, "Hey, why'd do that?"

3. The board said, "We're not telling nor are we going to answer your questions or meet with anyone. Our minds are made up and we are going forward."

4. The members fired the board.

5. We have a new board.

6. We have our coach back.

There seems to be a few changes in the club too. As much as I have a lot of poor feelings forwards the previous board for the mess they created, there are some good things that appear to have come out of  the potential NCSA slaughter. We have some great communication going on these days. There are some extra things happening: more dry land training by experts and physiotherapists being consulted to make sure kids don't get repetitive strain injuries. Coaching is being shared around and kids will be coached by more people. All in all it seems like some really great moves.

So, perhaps there was some good in it all.
