What Kids Are Saying About Swimming:
"The best part about swimming is when you beat your time. It doesn't matter if you lose the race as long as you tried your best; you can walk away with a smile on your face.
When you're in the water you forget that people may be watching and all you care about is getting to the other side of the pool and touching the wall.
You can just let go and fly."
- Stormie, Age 12
Swimming is more than just playing in my pool. It is good for my heart and keeps me in shape. It is definitely a great exercise for children." - Miriam, Age 11
I've been told swimming is a wimp sport, but we don't get time outs and we can't stop and catch our breath. It's tough, but fun." - Amber, Age 13
