This is what we bought Natalie today. She got a new set of goggles, because these are red and she wanted red goggles. For those of you that don't know--Natalie loves the color red. The swimsuit is the chosen team swimsuit for the Lifetime Fitness team. They have so far been swimming in whatever swimsuit they want, but her coach (Coach Kris) felt that having the same swimsuit would make them seem more unified. Luckily, because it's for a team, we got a discount because these types of swimsuits cost $70+. This one cost $74 but the discount brought it down to $50. The swim fins are required for her Lifetime Fitness swim team class. She outgrew her other ones. The lycra cap is something to wear under the swim cap. Natalie heard about it from one of the 12-year-old girls on our neighborhood swim team who wears one. She wears the lycra cap then her goggles, then her silicone swim cap over all of it. Supposedly it keeps her head from itching. Natalie was all for that. The total was $100. Ouch!
Here is Natalie goofing off in her new gear. She was excited and when Natalie is excited, she lets everyone know about it! :) She has the championship swim meet this upcoming Saturday against the other four teams in our division (neighborhood swim team). That means she'll have to face that 10-year-old girl again that beat her in the IM. She's been gearing up for that meet. Coach Kris helped her (at Natalie's request) with her breaststroke and with the transitions between the different strokes in the IM. We stayed after class a little extra for this, and it made me happy that Coach Kris cared enough to help Natalie for this swim meet that her coach wouldn't even be at.
Patrick and I hope that all of this gives Natalie the confidence to do well in the championship meet. That would make her very happy and when Natalie is happy, she lets everyone know it!
