On November 5, 2011 the swimming girls woke up early, and after packing all their towels, snacks, blankets and pillows, headed for the pool. Starting at 9:30 in the morning and ending at 9:30 that night, each girl swam six 20 minute intervals, totaling 2 hours of continuous swimming.
The reason for all this swimming?, The Bahamas! Each girl sent out letters to family and friends asking for money donations to be able to go on the team trip to the Bahamas. Some people gave flat donations, and others pledged the girls per mile, meaning they actually had to try to swim as far as possible! 
While the girls were not swimming, they watched movies, did homework assignments, slept and ate food. Afterwards, everyone was happy to take a nice, warm shower and head off to Munchies (the new frozen yogurt store) for a treat, which was well deserved! Needless to say it was one long day, but I’m sure that those who made some money would say it was well worth it!
Thank you for supporting our team and helping us achieve our goals!
