We had our second swim meet of the summer last night. I made a video of Eric's leg of the 200 medley relay. In this relay, each swimmer swims a 50 of a different stroke. In the two meets so far, Eric has done backstroke. He is the best at it, and it is best to use your swimmers where they are strongest. Back starts first, since you can't dive with it.
He did great again last night. The coach chooses his events, so he just swims what she tells him to. He swam in the 100 Free. He got 3rd place in that with a time of 1:24.06
This was his first time swimming the 100 free, so this is his best time. :)
Then he swam the 200 medley relay. His leg is in the video above. His team took 1st in that one. Usually in that relay it is just your team vs the other team; no other swimmers.
His third swim was the 100 IM. He got 1:32.34, which is faster than his previous best time of 1:34.97. He got first place by 1.01 second. Whew!
His fourth swim was the 50 back. He got a time of 43.25. Not his best time, but still got first place.
Last was the 200 Freestyle Relay. He was the anchor again (last swimmer). Each of the four swimmers did a 50 free. He helped his team win first place in this as well.
So proud of our super swimmer!
