Swim Meet #1

The kids had their first swim meet with our new swim team last night!!  It was so much fun!  The kids both did great! 

S swam short free, breaststroke and backstroke.  She was also on a relay which we were kind of surprised about because being that we've never swam on this team, the kids didn't have any times going into the meet so we assumed that they would have to wait until after the first meet to get on a relay!  She has moved up to the 11/12 age group so now all of her events are double the length and she has some new flip turns to use.  She did all of it very well and we were all super surprised that her backstroke flip turn(at least this exact one that she did) was almost perfect!  Her 50 free(which use to be long free, and is now short free) time improved from last's year's best of 46.58s to 41.93s!  All of the other strokes you can't really compare to last year since they are now 50m instead of 25m! Hoping she is in both relays next week!

C swam short free, breaststoke and backstroke and rocked them all! 

His times were:
Short free 20.53s (last year his best was 22.62s)
Backstroke 27.56s (last year his best was 32.7s)
Breaststroke 28.34s (last year his best time was 31.03s)

He should also be in relays next week! 

All in all, a great meet!  Unfortunately, I was really bad about getting pictures so I gotta work on that!  We are ready for a summer of swimming!  Go Waves!!

Lined up for short free - I think this was the only event that
he wore his cap:)

S lined up for short free - and quite possibly annoyed that I was
taking her picture...LOL!

His least favorite stroke!

She's learned to embrace backstroke and it may be her
favorite now:)
