Jayda and Sydney swam for the Huntsville Lakers again this past summer. This was Jayda's 5th year to swim summer league, and Sydney's 3rd year to swim. They were both at the top of their age groups and did really well! They both ended up winning the high point awards for their ages, woo-hoo!! And, funny enough they both do well at the same two strokes--freestyle and backstroke! Sydney even won backstroke at the divisional swim meet! We are so proud of both them. They worked very hard over the summer attending practice nearly everyday. Apparently hard work does pay off!

Sydney on the ready bench at the Trinity Summer Classic! Sydney ended up finishing 2nd in backstroke, 8th in freestyle, and won high point award at the Trinity meet for her age group! She did so well and dropped time in both of her events, swimming her fastest times of the season at that meet!
Jayda waiting, not so patiently, for one of her last swims of the season at the Trinity Summer Classic. Jayda did awesome as well at Trinity! She won freestyle, got 2nd in backstroke, and also got the high point award for her age group! She too dropped time in her events and swam her fastest times of the summer!
