Elkhart Swim Meet - December 2012

Helen participated in her first "away" swim meet this season in Elkhart, IN.

a video of helen swimming the 50 freestyle.  you will notice on the 2nd 25 she seems to "lose" her left arm under the water :)  she's made amazing strides in her swimming since joining the swim team late last summer. 

i love how you can hear her teamates cheering in the background.  at the swim meet - i noticed at least 10 older kids that came up to the little ones to wish them good luck before each of their races.  giving them a high five and telling them to swim their best.  made my heart melt.
