We are the Imps!

We are the Imps
Couldn't be prouder
If you can't hear us
We'll shout a little louder!

Our summer has been commandeered by swim team events, and we like it! Practice is for an hour each day, M-F, except for meets, which are on Tuesdays and last no less than 5 hours. Monday nights after practice we have Pasta Pump-Up, which is a potluck meal for all swim team families, with pasta, pizza, salads, fruit, and desserts.

Paige is on the Sunfish team (a team for 4-6 year olds who aren't quite ready for the "real" team), and Russell and Meredith are on the 7-8 year old team.

The swim team kick-off was a Cinco de Mayo breakfast - yummy!


Russell and his "big Imp," coach Steven:


After each practice, if they've done their best and have brought their own allowance to spend, they are allowed to buy a drumstick or an ice pop!


Sunfish practice - see Paige lined up? Sunfish practice from 4:15-5:15; 7-8s practice from 5:15 to 6:15.



Russell enjoying Pasta Pump-Up with friends after Monday practice.


Swim meets: lots of down time, lots of snack time, lots of play time!



...and lots of great swimming!



Awards: Russell's relay team has won 2nd, 3rd, and 4th place in some of the meets, but he is most proud of this - his "heat winner" ribbon for winning his freestyle heat.


And Meredith got Swimmer of the Week on Week 1 :)


Team Picture Day: all 235 Imps!


...and our favorite 3 Imps!


We have 2 meets left and then the swim banquet! They are all growing as swimmers and having a blast.
