Fall Fling Swim Meet

It's time for another swim meet the Fall Fling.  We must have been successful at the squad meet in August that the WCCC is willing to give us a chance now.  All the rules are still in play  with masks being the main requirement.  Check in was early so everyone could sign in and answer all the questions.  The kids headed to the pool for warm ups.  I headed outside to were the officials meet to enjoy the fresh air with no mask until the meet started.  

The kids waiting patiently.

Sand Volleyball
The kids had to be outside while waiting 
for their events.  I am not sure
but sand & water may not be a good mix.

Stream Line
This picture looked cool.
His stream line has come a long way since 
last short course.

The 500 Freestyle
There was a slight disagreement about form
and which was best.
Coach Dani asked him to try his way on this event.

He wasn't as successful as he had hoped it would be.  The mile tomorrow he will do it her way.

Saturday morning check in @ 7:00 am.  Once again sign in, answer the questions, and wait until the whistle blows.

Cheering section!!!

It was a great meet with Cedar City Swim Club participating.  Ryder did very well except for one minor set back.  The boys lost count and he ended up swimming an extra hundred.  He will definitely be trying this event again to improve his time.

Events:
Mixed (Open) 200 Breast 36th Place, 3:23.75
Mixed (Open) 500 Freestyle, 35th Place, 6:45.53
Mixed (Open) 1650 Freestyle, 2nd Place, 24:03.40 (extra 100)
Mixed (Open) 200 Back, 30th Place, 2:46.80
Mixed (12 & Under) 50 Back, 4th Place, 36:72

He worked hard and was very tired by the end.  He still had energy to celebrate his birthday.

The Open events are for all ages 18 to 7 all competing together.  It is a great challenge for the younger swimmers to see how they are doing in comparison.  The next meet is in 2 weeks in Cedar City.
