The annual Turkey Swim

Yet another swimming post - Zoey and Kyla did the Turkey Swim this year.  A 2,000 meter swim (about a mile)  Zoey came in first in her age group - Kyla came in second.  Zoey won a Turkey for winning her age group.

Check out Kyla coming out of the water and crossing the finish line at 33:31:

Here's Zoey finishing in 40:30:

Did I even mention that the girls are on the swim team - LoL

Yet another swimming post - I think / hope I'll be doing this for a long time.

Oahu had a series of open ocean swims during the summer.  The girls all swam at least one of the North Shore series.  All the pictures you see of people surfing the huge waves in Hawaii are on the North Shore - in the winter.

All three girls swam the Cholo's Wiamea Bay 1.2 mile swim.  Zoey came in third for her age group and Kira in 4th.  Kyla's age group is actually the biggest and most competitive but she still finished in the top 10.  Here's a picture of them before the start of the race - yes they have all gotten really big.

It's hard to show with pictures how far they really swam but this picture might give you an idea.  That's a group of Spinner Dolphins jumping in the water with the swimmers behind them.....  The girls said that the dolphins swam under them.

Kira did the Waikiki Open Water Swim - 2.6 miles.  People come from all over the world to do this swim.  Here she is at the start and than coming out of the water.
