Swim Meet #1

The first swim meet of the season was an "A" team meet, which means it's the better swimmers, more competitive and you can get disqualified if you don't do everything correctly. In hindsight, I probably should not have said Morgan was available for this meet since it was very first time competing in a swim meet. But, lesson learned! She participated in a relay with 3 other girls - one from her school (Maebel) and then twins (Avery and Anna) that swim on the Hornets (a travel swim team). Their group came in first! She also swam the breast stroke and free style 50m solo events. She came in 4th in the breast stroke, but there were only four people in the race :). She was pretty upset to come in last in her solo events. I tried to explain to her that the swimmers she was up against had been doing this way more than one time! After talking to another mom, we decided that the "B" meets are more our speed, at least for our first swim team season!

Here she is - ready to go! They write their events on their arms in sharpie!

Here she is doing the free style in her relay. We need to work on the spin turns. She just got to the wall, stopped to see where the other people were, then started swimming again. Ha!
