The Dreaded Swim Test.For some of us less experienced swimmers, the worst day of camp was always the first. The dreaded swim test loomed over the spring months leading up while everyone else excitedly gathered camp supplies off thorough checklists. The community pool became the practice ground for game day, as parental units were instructed to rate (on a scale of passing to not passing) how well the most recent version of the crawl (ugh, the crawl!) went down, with strict rules not to look away even once. And then it arrived - "four laps of the stroke of your choice" (a choice!) - with jittery but prepared nerves and a side stroke that could easily win gold. Enjoy!

I think-no, I KNOW-that an unseemly amount of your time and energy went into avoiding the Frost Valley swim test. And anyone who knows you knows EXACTLY how this was accomplished (I cannot put it in writing or they'll come take away your "pass" certificate. Curious parties should text Carly for the story.) Now that you're about to become a mother it will be interesting to hear what kind of advice you give your daughter! (Laughing at the thought as I write this.)
