Swimmers of the Week!

Today at the end of swim practice, the coaches each designated a swimmer to receive the "Swimmer of the Week" award.  Among the four swimmers chosen, Julia and Madeleine were two, and they got cool new "Swimmer of the Week" swim caps!

The head coach took lots of photos, from smiling to profile to serious.  In the serious photo, Madeleine opted to go for "Angry Buddha" instead:

It didn't help that her cap was way too far down her forehead, partially obscuring her eyes and giving them an especially angry slant. It could have been worse, though.  All the swimmers on the team had received popsicles at the end of their practice today, and Madeleine continued her usual practice of eating hers so slowly that it began to melt and its artifical red color dripped all over her arms and painted her face.  She could very well have been *bloody* angry Buddha if her swim coach hadn't given her a quick wipe down before the photo session.


Bravo, swimmers, on your well earned honor!
