Tomorrow starts the 2012 winter season state swim meet being held in Rapid City. Sarah took Molly and Megan today for this weekend. Megan has been on the swim team for the last 7 years, and absolutely loves it. She is the one in lane 4. Now, when it comes to sports, or exercise, you need to do what you enjoy doing. This is by far her favorite exercise, ever since she was little. When you enjoy your sport/activity, it becomes easy to keep doing it. For me, swimming is a struggle. I would much rather bike or run. It is good to have variety though.
With Megan on the swim team, she has become proficient in all 4 strokes, free style, back stroke, fly, and here doing the breast stroke (the one closest to you). I struggle just trying to do the freestyle. Megan is a good inspiration to me as well, showing that you earn what you work for. This will continue to be a good sport/activity for her to do to stay in shape as she gets older as well. Remember, do what you enjoy doing, or you won’t do it very long. Keep Moving!
Good luck this weekend Megan!
