Mane aged up to the 13-14 year old category after her birthday this May, and she made two new qualifying times at her meet last Friday night!! She started the swim team in November 2013. This is her "gym class" (4.5+ hours swimming each week). She swims at the YWCA with kids from all over Minneapolis, not just homeschoolers. Learning to get around the YWCA on her own, take care of her own stuff, and get to practice on time been a tremendous growth experience for her. Her team is made up of kids of all different social, economic, and cultural backgrounds, and her experience with her teammates and coaches has been overwhelmingly positive. We are so grateful that she's found her niche in the sport of swimming and that she has the opportunity to continue to grow with such a great team!
