July 8th Swim Meet

After a busy 4th of July it was time for Ryder to get ready for his next meet.  This one was going to be across town at the SHAC.  This was his first time competing at this pool so nerves were high.  He was going to compete in 3 races plus the relay.

All checked in and waiting for warm ups.

Ready and waiting
Warm ups don't take nearly long enough.

Nerves or mental prep??
The boys relay coming from behind only to take 2 place by 2 tenths of a second.  Longer arms was hit fate.  

#14 25 Backstroke  9-10 Boys, 6th Place, Official Time 23.64

#26 25 Breaststroke 9-10 Boys, 4th Place, Official Time 29.42

#34 25 Freestyle 9-10 Boys, 3rd Place, Official Time 19.78

He was one tired boy by the end of the meet but had to wait for the final ribbon to be printed.  Lucky for us his coach convinced him he could leave and she would bring them to him at next practice.  His times have improved with each meet.  

There are only 2 weeks left of the summer swimming program. Hopefully, he will stay focused and have some fun with other members of his team.
