The synchronized swimming meet...

This last Friday we went to the City's synchronized swimming routine championships meet. It is the final culmination of routines that the girls have been practicing since the beginning of the summer. Some of these girls have been swimming for a couple years, but it's mostly everyone's first time doing "Synchro".

Here is the promised video of Sidney's trio doing their "Swing" synchronized swim routine. And the family was all there to see it this time. Even if it was a blazing 112 degrees.





They really did a great job! So good in fact that they placed 1st in their age division for trios!!! Sidney was ecstatic!!! (It must have been the cute hair piece! JK!)




Here is Sidney's team group that performed to various "American" themed songs. It is pretty windy, so the music is harder to hear.




They ended up with 3rd place for their team. They were thrilled!!!



Here is Sidney with her winnings... a blue ribbon for her 1st place trio, a medal for her 3rd place team, and a rose from her coach. We're so excited for her!




She will probably join the recreational team for the Desert Dolphins. Check them out here: http://www.azdolphins.com/, they even have a blog where you can watch routines from their recent Nationals trip to Florida.
