Swim Team Try Out

Reposted with correct video permissions:
Luke has reached the zenith of the kids pool at South Bay Aquatics where he has been swimming since he was 8 months old!  The kid was swimming here before he could walk.

While it has been an expensive affair in dollars and time, it has been very worthwhile because of the confidence Luke has around a pool and the fact that swimming is a life long type of sport.  I have seen folks aged 70+ that are still active swimmers and/or surfers and they are in tip top shape.

The pool at South Bay Aquatics is indoors, small and heated for obvious reasons.  We decided to sign Luke up for a swim team as a natural progression to the next level.
The video below was his try-out session where he was assessed to be talented enough to join the pre-competition squad.  The focus of this squad will be clock reading, stroke perfection and endurance for 45 minutes!  This is pool is outdoors, larger and not as warm. (kept at swim competition regulation temperature which is a comfortable 88)

Let the excitement and work begin!
