Swim-a-thon

Thursday was a BIG day.  Sugar was nervous all through school, so when swim finally arrived, she had her self a bit worked up with nerves.  It was a fundraiser for the pool she swims for.  She had to swim non-stop for an hour in a lane with about 5 other swimmers.  She had never done this before, and was so very anxious.  We had some of our friends and family sponsor her.  They pledged so much per length she swam.  I was there to do the counting.  It was a beautiful afternoon, and she swam 97 lengths.  That is almost a mile and a half.  WOW!  She was so very proud of herself.  It was wonderful to see her swimming so strongly, as well.
