On your mark...get set....SWIM (part II)
So, I guess I should have saved that title until after the first swim meet, but obviously, I just wasn't thinking. Abigail swam in 4 events today. 50M Free, 50M Back, 50M Fly and 200 Free Relay. She was first in her heat with the 50M Back and her time was somewhere around 58:00. Don't know if that means she'll get a ribbon or not. We'll find that out on Monday.
Here are a few shots of the day.......
Coach said to make a grid on their arm showing what they were racing and when. Abigail has small arms, because we used both of hers to get all the info on there!
Here is a picture of most of the team, getting their final directions before the meet starts...(Abigail is the one with the blue circle around her head).
Finally, here's little brother Rich who was sooooo very patient through the entire swim meet.
I helped volunteer with the timing. I think I helped time about 5 races. We didn't have a lot of activity in our lane, but it was good practice for when there are bigger meets. Coach also wants parents to learn to be officials. I also already said I'd be on the board, as they need parents for that, too. This team is just starting up, so it's going to be fun watching and helping it to grow.
We went out to Taco Bell for lunch afterwards and just got home a little bit ago. When we were leaving Taco Bell, the sky opened up and we got DRENCHED just going a few feet from the restaurant to the van.
