Ryder has been waiting so patiently for his first competitive swim meet. The Spooktacular Swim Meet will be a whole new adventure for us. These meets are two days or rather Friday night and Saturday morning. Check in started at 4:30 with warm ups starting at 5.
Everyone into the pool....

It was a crazy night that goodness Ryder only had 2 events since I was starting my volunteer hours by learning how to run the time computer. It was a much harder job that I imagined. After tonight I may stick to timing the races. I was only the helper tonight and was able to leave early. My head was spinning and Ryder was running out of steam really quickly.
Saturday morning time to rise and shine!!!! 7:30 am check in time comes really early the smell of chlorine greets us as we enter the pool. We of course are one of the first ones to arrive and we have to wait for the heat sheets.

He was amazing to watch with so much confidence in himself and his skills. We got the results for the first three events before leaving but had to wait another week for the final three.
