Swim team wrap up...



We became a swim team family this year! Now that says a lot. We began summer on "The Forest Park Flyer's". The coach said he was worried Emma would drown well she did not and she actually ended the season Winning the "B" 7-8 Freestyle girls at the City meet Saturday, and last week at our league meet her "B" relay 7-8 girls won 1st place. She got her "A" time in Backstroke, it was full of fun friends lots of sun a few very chilly meets and a Merrill family committed to swimming next year with maybe 3 swimmers. Thayne did swim in the last meet of the year and after a min or so he made it to the other side....next year will be his year! This year he has had to hang up the shorts... he broke his collarbone last week at our swim team awards night! Until next year we'll keep swimming.


Oh yes she won her heat Friday night on her Individual Medley.
