Swim Lessons

Dani took swim lessons at Tiger Aquatics at LSU the last two weeks in July. She has her hopes set on making the middle school swim team so she has been working on her swim strokes and techniques all summer long!!

We were all very impressed with how well she swam and how beautiful all of her strokes looked. Daddy came to watch the last day and was extremely impressed with her improvement from the beginning of the summer!!

She was so good they had to seperate her from the rest of the kids taking lessons and every day they would take her to her own lane and work on stroke perfection, diving off the block, flip turns and longevity in the water. The last day she even had a champion LSU swimmer come in to run a "practice" lesson to make sure she could hang with the longevity of swimming as it would be run during a normal swim practice. She was exhausted but she did great!!!

She also had a really cute fan club watching on the sides!! The boys were troopers for two weeks, every day we would drive to LSU and back. They stayed occupied by watching Dani, watching the LSU divers, and we even took a few trips to see Mike the Tiger and the baseball stadium!!

I didn't get very many pictures, but make sure to check out the videos of her beautiful swimming!

Stay tuned to see how tryouts go in a couple of weeks!! We feel confident that she is going to make the team thanks to all the private lessons and hard work she put in this summer!!

Until then....
