Waters' Sports Update....Swimming

Swim team has been a lot of hard work so far this summer.  Practices have been 4 days week bright and early at 9:00.  It comes home exhausted, starving, and still moving.  Saturday was the first official swim meet against the other program in town along with a team from Las Vegas.

Check in time was 7:15 AM!!!!

He is ready to go.
New shirt, cap, and jammer swim trunks.

Waiting patiently.....

In his heat.

The final event was Freestyle 25.  He swam his heart out and came in 5th place.

He did awesome for his first meet.  We all learned something new today.  It is really hot sitting by the pool for 3 hours.  Volunteering to be a Timer has the best seats of all.  We brought water but next time we will bring more snacks.

The next meet is in 2 weeks time for more practice.  We are so proud of him and his determination to do his best.
