Today's meet

E did great today at the meet! He entered all 4 strokes for the 2nd time. He rocked the breast stroke again, taking 3 seconds off of last week's time and coming in 4th place.



Preparing to enter the pool for his freestyle. (love the shark eyes!)



Freestyle



Starting position for backstroke



Oh, elusive butterfly, we got a disqualification again. This time I think E just tired out. He was doing awesome, but a couple of strokes near the end, his wrists just didn't quite clear the water. But, you know what I am most proud of, this boy doesn't give up. He will try again and again. In the above picture, though, he was doing the stroke beautifully.

Meet 2

Sorry to take so long to post this. E was pretty sick for 3 or 4 days. So proud of him in last week's meet. Kiddo got a time in breast stroke!!!!! Last year he couldn't get the stroke down enough to enter. This year he got a time the first time he entered it. So proud of him. He works very hard at his swimming! Here he is with his ribbons. He got 6th in breast and 7th in back stroke. He disqualified in butterfly. He had a beautiful stroke all the way down, but forgot to do a two hand touch at the end. Great effort and so proud of him.

Swim Meet

E did such a good job at last week's swim meet. He took 8 seconds off of last year's freestyle time and 5 1/2 seconds off of last year's backstroke time. He did a great job this past week too, but I am waiting for them to post results.
