Throwback Thursday!

This photo was taken in Maui, HI at the State meet in 2009.  Catherine, on the right, will be attending The Air Force Academy this fall.   Smart gal!  

Swimming is a lifelong sport, and I am so thankful that I can swim, and it's so important that adults learn to swim.   Habitually swimming on a daily basis will hopefully allow me to reach my goal of improving my speed to the same level or even a higher level of performance compared to my 'younger' years.
