Quinn has finished her season because she is leaving for camp before the County Finals next week. I’m fairly certain she would not have placed in the finals but I am not fazed by the lack of swimming championship titles. She really did well with the other kids (this is her first sporting effort) and we were most delighted about that because she tends to pull back where there is a lot of activity because she is fearful of her ability to keep up visually (her tracking is still a big issue in regards to her social development). But with a little encouragement, a coloring book and a Nintendo DS she was able to mingle and merge with the other kids her age. She also really had a great time seeing improvement in her ability and she was extremely kind to herself during the process of learning and racing and coming in last or 2nd or 7th or 1st (for her heat, mind you). During all of those places she was happy with herself. And proud of herself. And swimming was a great experience. And when she gets back from camp, she will be delighted to get her trophy! (Because she is also missing the team banquet!)
