Ryder has been waiting patiently for Select Camp. It has been really hard having 2 weeks off away from the water. He was anxious to get there and get the camp started. We were lucky with blue skies and a few clouds for an early Saturday swim. A quick introduction to the coaches and the kids were off to warm up. It was time for the parents meeting and intro to the swim program.

| In the zone !!!! |
The kids were soon paired up with a coach and working on their strokes. I am not sure who was having more fun the coaches or the kids. The screams, giggles, and shrieks it was probably both.
It was now time for the tryout portion of the day. However, those dark clouds were inching closer all the time. Would we finish before the rain or after?

| Swimming for all his is worth. |
The rain came tumbling down, down, and down. I would have thought they would stop until it let up. Not so they all kept right on with the tryouts, games, and plain craziness. They didn't even seem to notice it.

| He made it!!!! |
He did his best and with all his hard work he was invited to joining the Royals Competitive Team. Practices start on Monday. Every afternoon for and hour and a half. He is required to attend a minimum of 3 practices a week. If he continues on it will move to 5 days a week. Ryder was all smiles but his stomach soon took over. It was time to eat lunch and enjoy the afternoon.
Monday would come soon enough and so would the nightly practices.
