Swimming with the Marlins

I am training with 2 swim teams to get ready for Greece. On Sundays I practice with the Marlins in Freehold.  We stretch before we swim and then we do 4 laps of freestyle. I swim in lane 3 and I am the only girl. In my lane we swim the IM (butterfly, backstroke, breaststroke, freestyle). I like the IM but I do not like the breaststroke, because the breaststroke is hard from me.  I also practice diving off the block.

One cool thing about swimming wtih the Marlins is that Chris M is on my team. Chris and I went to Nationals in Nebraska and now we are going to Greece together. Chris is an awesome swimmer! In Greece he is swimming the 400 freestyle, 200 backstroke, and the 200 breaststroke.

I like to swim with the Marlins beacuse I like to pratice with Chris. Practicing wtih the Marlins has made me a better swimmer. I have built up my endurance and worked on my flip turns. I plan to keep practicing flip turns so I can swim faster in Greece.
