He warmed up for one hour before the meet began, and he was ready to go. He practiced his strokes diligently and was so excited he fell in the pool, but only once.
He started his meet ready for the 25 meter freestyle. He had a false start. He climbed back out and jumped in after everyone was in when they officially started it. He swam his little heart out. He placed 7th.
And then it was 25 meter back stroke time. He placed 5th in this event. But 2-6th were almost the same. It was a close race, and he did wonderful!
And his final event was the 50 meter freestyle. He swam against kids ages 7-14. He had some serious competition. He came in 8th. Not last! He swam his heart out and did a great job. We cheered loud, and he worked hard.
We can't wait for another meet. I love watching him do something that he loves and that he really excels at. He is determined to get faster and do better. I cannot wait to see the progress in the coming meets.
