Spooktacular Swim Meet 2020

It has been almost a month since our last swim meet.  The kids are ready to show off their hard work.  However, It has been a rough month with COVID raising its ugly head and starting to see rising cases.  Coaches getting sick and kids trying to keep it all going.  Then to get a text message from the state warning that it's raging in Southern Utah and to be safe wear a mask.  Lucky me I didn't get that alert.  I get enough that this one wasn't missed.

Following the rules!!

Temp checks, sign in symptoms, and masks for everyone.

This boy was working hard.

Happy Halloween!!! Day 2 of the meet.  They are in the pool and ready to swim.

I love to see the churning water.

What a flip turn during the 500 Free.

A head

No he isn't standing up.

I caught this on another flip turn.

Final shot!!

He had a great time and accomplished what he needed to.  He worked on his IMX events as well as doing the 500 Freestyle again to try and lower his time.  I was officiating along with trying the next position of Starter.  The 500 never moved so fast as when you start the event and then watch each lap for positions.  This one is going to take awhile to learn.  I am glad that everyone obeyed the rules of COVID and were were able to have 2 days of competition.  It was great to see teams from Northern Utah, Nevada, and even California being able to participate.  Listening to the kids talk this was most of their first meet since March.  So glad to be apart of a good thing.  Our next meet isn't until December.  Let's all stay healthy so we can have that one as well.
