Swim Meet #3

We are getting the hang of these swim meets now.  Packing is quick and I actually look forward to the "down" time relaxing, watching Collin play with his friends and talk to Daddy between the heats.

This time, Collin got 3rd for the Mixed Medley.  He got 4th for Freestyle only because one of the kid's did a false start so Collin did not jump in.  The guard never called it so the race was on and Collin jumped in last.  He caught up but came in 4th instead of likely 2nd or 3rd.  He did really good on the Back Stroke but was not awarded the ribbon he earned.  He should have gotten 3rd but was given 5th place because the lane judge was not paying attention.  Daddy tried to make this right but no one else saw it, even both sets of side judges.  Even one of Collin's buddies came over to ask where his 3rd place ribbon was.  Fortunately Collin did not care.  We were winning the Meet so we did not need the 3rd place points that Collin really did earn for the team so we did not push it further.
