We know that Madison LOVES to swim but how would she do on a swim team? That is the question we needed to answer. To test "the waters"...for lack of a better phrase, we signed her up for swim camp. She did really well and looked forward to being in the pool almost everyday.
What fish wouldn't want to do that!
But how would she do at "racing"? We signed her up for the swim team hoping that being in the water for four days a week would keep her motivated and that she could handle adults yelling...I mean, loudly talking...supporting her, as she made her way down the lanes. Luckily she had her friend Emily there to get her through the process...

Madison's first races
To keep track of everyone, they write your name and your races on you. Another selling point for Madison...go figure. This is Eric (Emily's brother) doing a photo bomb on Madison...
