Swim Meet #4 - VIRTUAL

Well, we finally had a meet that was more than just time trials!  The whole team was there and we took official times so that the kids could have times in SwimTopia for seeding for next year!  Whoop!!  I hate that it took us so long to do it because now they get whatever time they get and don't get a chance to improve upon it!  Oh well!  Trying to stay positive, at least we did one!

I timed(for three hours in the hot heat with a mask on!  UGH!!) and the kids were pretty much on their own to figure it out!  They did great, but there were definitely a few "first meet hiccups" along the way!  And, our team is split into blue and white to try and have them somewhat even for relays, so the relays were not based on fastest times, which of course my competitive self was not loving, but it did make for some real nail-biter races!!

C swam:
Short Free - 17.70
IM - 1:52.73  (PR for him)
Backstroke - 24.77
(he also swam both relays, freestyle for both)

S swam:
Short Free - she false started and got DQ but I think she would have had a PR if she hadn't done that(I told her it was pretty special to be able to get a DQ in short free, LOL!!)  
Long Free - 1:26.36(PR for her)
Backstroke - 49.06
(she also swam both relays, freestyle for both - she had a LOT of freestyle today!)

We are doing another meet, with Sugar Creek(both teams together!), next week so they will get a chance to get some more times in SwimTopia, for the other three events that they didn't swim this week!

It was a fun morning and I'm glad they get a more normal meet, even if it is still far from really normal!

Team Cheer - 11&up in the pool, 8&under on one side, 9-10 on the 
other side - gotta love social distancing!
