Lilah Has a Successful Start to the Swim Season
After two years of swimming contently on the junior varsity team, Lilah transitioned to the varsity squad this year, a move she was reluctant to make because she enjoys the winning that comes from her JV pursuits. As is usually the case with her, she must grumble about things before she finally accepts the situation and commits. So far, she does not seem to have any of the issues she thought she was going to have swimming with the varsity squad, such as having to swim too much, making it to morning practices during the week (she gets to skip those because of her school schedule), and not being competitive enough to win.
