Caleb's Swim A Thon

Caleb Michael Murphy is turning into a little fish!  I was so proud of him tonight.  He got into that water and started swimming... and kept swimming.  He did 17 full laps!  That is over a mile (15 laps is a mile)!  That is much more than his Dad has ever done!

It was a fun night, they got to play and swim with these glow bracelets and eat pizza and gatoraid. Everyone was given 2 hours to swim and the coach set a goal of 15 laps for Caleb's group.  Caleb took the challenge head on!  He swam a bunch, got out for a minute ate a couple of cookies and jumped back in.

It has been great to watch him improve. Tonight he had the best swimming form he has had so far.  Pretty soon he is going to be lapping his Dad.

Thanks for everyone who donated to Caleb's swim a thon.  It was great fun and it sounds like they raised a great deal of money for the team.
