Swimmer Girl | Carmel Goldfish Swim School

This post is brought to you by Goldfish Swim School and the Lou.

I had been asking my mom about joining a swim team. I even explored some bigger local year round swim teams and tried out, but they seemed a little too big to me. I had loved my Goldfish Swim School lessons at the Fishers location and my mom remembered they had a swim team too! Swim Force. We're lucky because there is a Goldfish Swim School near our new house in Carmel. My mom called and I'm now on practice number 3 with Swim Force at the Carmel Goldfish Swim School! I'm loving it.

The way the pool is set-up is different from when I did lessons. They move the lane ropes and now we swim the whole length of the pool as we work on all the strokes. It's so fun and I love all the coaches. Sometimes it's hard work, but I don't want to quit. I want to get better and better, plus they make learning the strokes so fun with games. My favorite is the Catch Up freestyle drill. However, I thought they were saying ketchup at first and that was super funny.

And we still get a prize from the front desk after our practice. Plus all the other cool things about Goldfish Swim School are still in full force.


  • We go the same day every week, so my Tuesday just got pretty awesome.
  • The pool is always at 90 degrees. Have you ever jumped in a freezing pool? It's not the best.
  • My mom loves the chairs in the viewing gallery. She watches me, reads a little and enjoys their free Wi-Fi.
  • They have snacks you can buy, because swimming for an hour the whole length of the pool is hard work and you need a healthy snack sometimes. 
  • The coaches are awesome! 
  • I like the new friends too.
  • And the best part - the pool! I love the pool. I could go EVERYDAY!
Want to learn more about Goldfish Swim School too? I recommend their lessons. My mom is way more relaxed this summer about me being in the community pool and my uncle's pool. I think she is proud of me for knowing how to swim and water safety. They have a Carmel and Fishers location. Once you master the lessons, then you can do Swim Force just like me. 

Head over to my Mom's Facebook page and see a video from me with the scoop on Swim Force. I love giving people the inside scoop. So fun.

Thanks to Goldfish Swim School! I'm pretty excited to be a partner for them and can't wait to take you along on my adventure.

My Greatest Challenge | Faith Friday

My nephew texted earlier this week and asked if he could interview me for a homework project. Little did I know the question coming wasn't an easy one, and it would bring tears and hard memories. He said he was supposed to ask someone over 30 and not his parents about the biggest challenge in their life. I advised I'd need a bit to think on that. It didn't take long. I was able to pinpoint it easily. Infertility. Growing up I always knew I wanted to be a mom. I never knew it wouldn't come easy. Coach Man and I struggled for five years to have a child. During our struggle, I often couldn't understand why God was withholding my heart's desires and how other women, made a choice, and just threw away the gift of motherhood like no biggie. What I would have given for that child that they didn't want. Hey, girl, over here! Give it to me. I'll love the heck out of that baby! Really, I will. During those years, all I could see around me was pregnan

Faith Friday | Cycle of Defeat

Things just got real, peeps. Okay they've been real for quite some time, but dang, they just got really real. I was trying to be adult-like and make sure we had the proper level of life insurance for our family, as the big 40 rolls in this month. Guess what? I got rejected - yep, rejected due to my weight/build. No talking to my doctor, no taking my stats and testing my blood and pee. They decided purely on weight and build. Hmmm... okay God, it was amusing last week when you gave me fresh content for my planned Faith Friday series on hard things , but this week I was pretty sure I had the cycle of defeat topic covered. Guess not. So I'm short. I'm not petite and dainty. I'm short and a plus mama. I can remember being an average weight in my youth years, but that pretty much ended when I hit adolescence. Past 12, it was ALWAYS a struggle. Looking back, it was probably tied to the imbalanced hormones and insulin resistance of PCOS, plus the intense cravings for carb
