We appreciate the nice compliments. Bailey has worked hard for years at swimming and her studies. 4.6 in honors classes. She actually started swimming at 6 months old, even before she walked. Typically she is at the pool at 6 am for practice. Later she does ground training, and sticks to a careful diet. It takes this kind of dedication to reach this level. She is going to be a senior this coming year, and just turned 17 last month. Her college choice will be coming up in the next 2-4 months.

Good luck to her. 17 is so young it seems... Impressive!

You should be proud. She could probably swim better at 6 months than I ever could.
