Shelby started out swimming an IM (intermediate medley; for those who don't know swim speak, it is a race with all four strokes: freestyle, backstroke, breaststroke and butterfly). She took 7th place in IM. I had a really cool picture of her swimming, but she wouldn't let me put it in! Teenagers are SO picky!
This is Caleb swimming butterfly. He took 6th place in IM, Freestyle and Butterfly.
Here is Joshua getting ready for backstroke. He came in 19th in backstroke and 11th in breaststroke.
Here is Samuel getting ready to swim. He is by far the most competetive of our kids and really takes this seriously! He took 2nd in backstroke, 1st in butterfly and 4th in breaststroke.
Here is Savannah getting ready to swim in her first ever meet. We were so anxious to see how she would do since she usually holds to the side with every breath! She shocked us all by finishing without ever holding the side! Of course we were scared she would go under the last 1/3 of the length of the pool! But she kept on going and she was so excited when she finished!
Savannah came in dead last at 25th place, but we all know it is all about the sucker you get for finishing! We expect good things from her in years to come since she is the youngest swimmer in the under 6 yr. old division!
