Swim Marathon 2013




Seven days of no swimming makes one weak.

This year Sinobia participated in 18th annual Flying Fish Swim Marathon, a one hour continuous swim, with her swim team.  It is her 4th year being a part of this event.  Her coaches estimated that she could swim 110 lengths in an hour. She swam 138 lengths in an hour! 

(These funds help the YWCA continue to provide healthy aquatic programming, provide financial assistance to families who cannot afford the cost of swim lessons or swim team participation, and support YWCA services in the areas domestic violence and violence prevention.)

I love this event.  This is Sinobia's moment to shine.  You see, big sister Gabrielle counts her laps for her every year.  Each year she continues to be amazed at what a great swimmer her sister is.  Each year Gabby is in awe at the strength and stamina that little sister Sinobia has.  This is the one thing Sinobia can kick her sister's butt at!  She rules the pool in our family!
There is still time to sponsor Sinobia and her Swim Marathon cause (you have until February 25th).  The YWCA has made it so easy this year, they set up web pages for each kid, so you can click on the link below, it will take you straight to Sinobia's web page, where you can make a donation (and/or see her cute picture).

Thank you to everyone who has helped her meet (and possibly exceed) her goal!
