We have to start out by saying how proud we are of Jacoba and Ruby. They have both been getting up early twice a week to go to swim practice before school. That's tough when is wintery, cold and dark outside, they normally get to the pool between 6:30-6:45 a.m. All of their hard work paid off over the weekend of January 27th, the Dresden International School participated in a swim meet with 7 other international schools, they came from as far as Copenhagen and it was an exciting 2 days of competition. The Dresden IS came in 1st place for boys & girls varsity!! Ruby shaved off 7 seconds from one of her times-and at one point in a boys relay, our team was in last place and through some major hard work, they ended up coming in second, it was an amazing 60 seconds to watch from poolside.
This is all due to being part of the King's Charter Swim Team. It was perfect for getting the girls started in this great sport, we love that the girls can work on improving their individual times but also be part of a fantastic team. When Ruby first started swimming with the KC Swim Team, she told us she didn't want to compete, well that lasted for about one day...both girls are greatly improving with their strokes, turns and times, WAY TO GO!!
