Remember being a kid during the summer? Going to the pool? Eating popsicles? This summer has been relatively cool here in DC and actually quite enjoyable. I cant wait for the kids to be older. I am going to have them join a local swim team-heck I may even volunteer to help coach, be a timer, or a turn judge. It is really exciting to think about my kids doing something that has always meant so much to me. I remember doing summer swim league when I was a little guy. I swam for Mountain View Country Club and was a pretty good swimmer. I hope they take away from it what I did. Fun and competition. I will never expect my kids to achieve what I did (Division I collegiate athletic scholarship) but I hope that they learn the amazing feeling of competing to win. It doesn't matter much to me if the win or if they are good or not. Its more about being on a team and working towards a goal.
