Pflugerville Piranhas...Swim Pfast

The boys are doing swim team this year and it's been so much fun. They are both swimming great and loving it and we spend a lot of time at the pool. Unfortunately Hannah, Hyrum, and I are sweating to death watching practice, but we survive. And lots of days we head to our pool afterwards to all swim.


The team, Pflugerville Piranhas, has had four meets so far and the boys are improving and enjoying. I'm so happy my boys love to swim because I love hanging out at the pool. 2 hours for practice every day, one hour each. The coaches are great. And meets are about 6 hours on Saturdays...we have to be at the pool by 6 am!

James' favorite stroke is breaststroke and he does a great job with it. A lot of the boys his age get disqualified for getting the stroke wrong but he has always nailed it. And he likes doing freestyle as well. All of his times have improved from the beginning of the season so he has done wonderful! And he can breath to the side while swimming now which is great.






Matthias loves to swim butterfly and does great with it, always coming in top 3. His age group has less competition since he swims 6 and unders but he is fast. He has gotten really fast in butterfly (close to invitational time) and freestyle. And today he swam breaststroke without getting disqualified...first 6 and under boy on our team to do so.






And they both just look so cute in their team suits, swim caps and goggles! =]
