The past week has been an exciting one on NBC! I hope you've been able to catch some of the "heat" and fun of the USA Swimming trials. The final events of the trial will be tomorrow, July 2, 2012. It has been unreal watching and cheering on Michael Phelps & Dara Torres from our home living room!
What's even more exciting is that there will be a LIVE Twitter party tomorrow, July 2, at 7:30 p.m. Eastern time where you can join in and cheer on Dara Torres in real time as she swims! The party will last an hour, and I hear there will be some FABULOUS prizes as you tweet about swimming and cheering on Dara throughout. To follow along and join in the fun, you can follow hashtag #SwimToday.
With this 100+ degree heat, swimming has definitely been on the forefront of our kids' minds! They have gotten so excited about the swim team details I've been able to find out more about thanks to the resources on the SwimToday.org website.
I had actually received an invite to attend the trials in Omaha on Monday July 2nd, but because my son has baseball commitments, I will be staying here at home. I am a bit bummed that I won't be able to witness all of the excitement first hand but know that another wonderful blogger will be there to follow along and share it all with us!
The swim trials coming to a close this week just make it such a wonderful way to mark America's Independence Day…I am so grateful and proud of our country AND the wonderful athletes who represent our nation!
GO TEAM USA!!
