Swim Champs

It was a great night at Swim Champs for our boys! Joshua swam in two relays and breaststroke. He placed 10th and 13th in his relays and 18th in his breaststroke. He improved his time by more than 5 seconds! We were so proud of him!
Samuel was so excited to go to champs! This is his second year and he was ready to swim! He competed in 2 relays, freestyle, butterfly, and breaststroke. He was a little too excited in his first relay and took off slightly before his teammate touched the wall, causing the team to DQ. In freestyle, he took 2nd place, losing first by .02 seconds! (His coach was SURE that he touched the wall first and won it, but that's another story!) Still, 2nd place out of 38 of the best swimmers in the league is something to cheer about!
In butterfly, Samuel placed 2nd again. He was incredible! Then he took on his favorite event....breastroke! Unfortunately, he DQ'ed in that because his kick sequence was off on his start. His final event of the night was another relay and his team placed 8th. All in all, it was a fun night and we are a little sad that swim season is over!
