Sink or Swim!

This summer, the Big 5 all joined our neighborhood summer swim team-The TIMBERWOOD TIBURONES!
I was so proud of everybody!  By the end of the summer they had all earned ribbons in at least one event and they were all swimming like little fish!



  5-6yr old girls 25 yard freestyle...

Glory takes her mark!

Lauren swam her way to all-stars in 2 events!

Go Lou-Bug!

Brady takes the plunge!

 

 

Swimming is Rachel's sport.  She began swimming competitively  year round 

just last year...and the Summer of 2013 was a defining moment for her.

When she failed to make the all star team in 2012 she became determined to qualify the next year...and qualify she did!!  She was the Division 2 overall 11-12 yr old 50 Backstroke champ,  swam with the Freestyle Relay A team and the Medley Relay team A- both of which earned a spot on the all star team by finishing 3rd overall at divisionals!

She nervously awaits her turn at the blocks...

 

 

She did it!!!  We were all so proud of her!

 

 

Relay A Team!...Qualified for All Star team in both 100 Free and 100 Medley Relays
Finished 3rd overall at Divisionals in both events!

 

Way to go, Tiburones!

 

 

Even Sean wanted to pose with Coach Bill and Coach Tracy!
They were the BEST!

 

 

Swim friends

Coach Brianna was technically Glory's coach, but she kind of adopted all the Sansanos...
or maybe we adopted her!  ;)

Only Coach Brianna could always keep Glory smiling...even when the water was a tad frigid!
