Swim Team

Gerri, Maggie's swim teacher, and I decided it was time to move Maggie up to JV swim team.  She is totally capable of everything Gerri asks her, it's just a matter of whether or not Maggie's stubbornness gets in her way!  She swims beautifully when she actually puts her face in the water and uses "long arms", but usually she has her head sticking out and spends so much energy keeping it up and flapping her arms!  We tell her and tell her, but she is very hard-headed and determined to do it her way.  So, Gerri and I thought we would push her to the next level to see if that helps.  She now has friends and other swimmers she needs to keep up with.  We weren't too sure if she'd be happy with us, but she loves it!  Hopefully, she'll get out of her head a little, relax, and swim like the graceful swimmer we know she can be!
