Fall Fling Swim Meet

Short Course Season is in full swing after a month of practicing.  It was time for the Fall Fling Meet @ WCCC.  Oops!!! I signed Ryder up for both days without checking with his coach.  I also volunteered to judge both days.  Ryder couldn't swim on Friday night since he is not 13.  There weren't enough officials so instead of leaving we both volunteered instead.  Me as an official and Ryder as a timer.  He got pizza & treats and I got soaked.

We had a quick breakfast and made it in time for check in & warm ups.  Ryder was ready to get the meet started.

Capped and ready to warm up.

The pool is calm 
The kids were ready to jump in


His arm wasn't big enough
for all his events.

Sliding in for his flip turn

Dang the touch pad didn't work
on this event either.
I am not sure if the problem was the touch pad itself or if he wasn't hitting it hard enough.  None of events registered at final time.  We will have to wait until the final results are posted in a couple of weeks.

He swam with everything he had and is hoping to improve all his times.  This is the last meet before he moves up to the next age group.  This means he will have new time requirements for each even
