Mock Swim Meet

Instead of taking the night off, tonight was a Mock Meet where the swimmers were divided into the Blue and White team for some friendly competition.  Plus, the swimmers were still timed so the Coach could determine the Heats for the meet this Thursday.  Until 20 minutes before the Meet started, we were not sure if it was going to get canceled or not because of the tropical depression headed our way.  Here we go again. 

The skies cleared and it stopped raining so we rushed to the Meet.  Collin swam Freestyle (6th place in the 5th set), Breaststroke (5th place in the first set) and Backstroke (4th in the first set).  He was supposed to swim Fly but the Meet was canceled because is started to pour.  The kids had already swam for over 2 hours with just 5 Heats left so they were not missing out on too much.

I was excited to not be working this Meet so I could talk with Collin and take pictures.

Wearing a swim cap for the first time.  This way, we could tell the Blue team from the White team.  He was being funny in this picture.

Not a bad dive at the start of freestyle

Collin in mid-breaststroke.  Not too far behind here.

 

Under water for breaststroke.  He is in the closest lane.

About the finish backstroke.  He is in the middle lane with his arm straight up.

Pointing to the sky...maybe at the rain about to head our way
