Official co-daughter Jill reports:
We joined a new swim club this fall, an experiment in year-round competitive swimming.
I had previously laughed at the idea of joining this club, because the fees are so exorbitant. But, as so often happens with kids, what once seemed impossible eventually came to seem normal.
How expensive is it? Well, I was just reading the flyer for the club’s family picnic next month. It mentions the raffle that will be held, with the prize, “…a free trip to Sydney (or credit toward 2009-10 dues!)”
