Aquathon

July 14th

Mori and Lily have been in swimming lessons all summer. They are part of the Pendleton Swim Association and have been working hard to learn all the strokes required of them at their level. As a fundraiser for PSA, they participated in the aquathon. Each level of swimmers were asked to swim a certain number of laps and to collect pledges from friends and family for new swim equipment for the association. Lily was supposed to swim 30 lengths of the pool and Mori was supposed to swim 60 lengths of the pool. They had 2 hours to do it and they did it! Every third lap they could use a kick board or a noodle to help them so they didn't get too tired, but they did it. Lily finished her 30 laps with about 15 minutes to spare and Mori actually swam 56 lengths in the 2 hours. They were both VERY happy with their accomplishments and so were we. They were quite tired at the end of the day!!!
