Hello bert! Ur daughters has been growing so strong and healthy  but can i be pined?? Im not forcing u 😅

They did great on their swim meet. I feel like your kids are both gymnasts and swimmers since they share 80% of the foundations. I do synchronized swimming and it is a great sport for combining gymnastics and swimming.

7:56 1st is butterfly and 3rd is breaststroke

Swimming is excellent cross training for gymnasts!  My daughter is 13 and actually just switched to swimming club full time after doing a league in the summers while training gymnastics year round. She is an extremely strong swimmer and butterfly is one of her best strokes. I have no doubt (and neither do her swim coaches) that her 7 years of gymnastics training is a major reason for that.  Even if she never set foot in a pool from August to May, she came back every summer faster in all her events.  She's even planning to dive in high school, as well, because she has exceptional air awareness. A triathlon coach told us that gymnasts are really all-around well-prepared to enter whatever sport they choose.  She loved gymnastics and it was a hard decision but she knew she was a better swimmer and had more passion for the sport.

Emi is so good at like the best sport 😊so good at sport

Wow! Thats so cool and they are so good at it.

as a swimmer and gymnast, watching this made me so happy!

swimming is my sport! i’ve been doing it for 5 years!!

As an ex-gymnast and swimmer and someone who is very short—best strokes will likely butterfly and breast. They require a lot of power and are considered short axis strokes. Also, us shorties are best when under the water so working on turns and streamlines help give us a chance against all the tall peeps lol.

Your kids did great, and they are super strong! They will be thankful when they get older and have the muscle memory and are able to still be physically active and have fun with their kids. I know I am very grateful for that. God has blessed me and he has blessed you and your family. Great video!

I also  do competitive  swimming and  gymnastics 😊😊😊😊 such  a  coincidence

Omg I used to do both!!❤❤❤

And Kumi good job Kumi you strong and good at sport to

Wow they are so talented!

As a varsity swimmer myself, I'm impressed considering that their times are 19 and 12 in freestyle for a 20 meter pool!

I used to do gymnastics from 3-8. Then I did swimming and I definitely noticed how good I was in swimming because of all the conditioning that gymnastics gave me. Now, I still swim but din’t do gymnastics anymore. So I have  to keep working out to be strong in the water

i recognize that diving pool! I train there every so often

Well done they did soo good I do swimming and waterpolo

that is EXCELLENT for 5-6

I love how their names have "ika" in it
Emika and Kumika

If they do a meet again I do have some tips, as a competitive swimmer, first let them chose their own events if possible and have them do events that they enjoy but also one to push themselves, I would also say your nine yr old should be swimming longer events then your 6 yr old, but lastly make sure at the end of their event they stay in the water to congratulate or fist bump the other competitors, if they just get straight out it can be seen as rude or your kids thinking they are too fast for the others.
