Swim Meet Sunday

William joined the Indian Creek Swim Club back in September.  He joined the Developmental Group to continue working on his technique.  He has attended a couple home swim meets - one was for fun and the other was sanctioned.  Today was his first away meet - the Donner Winter Invitational at Columbus North High School.

We all woke up around 6:00am (on a Sunday, remember!) so we could be at the pool by 7:30am.  William stretched and warmed up with the team and then the meet began at 9:00am.  William participated in 5 races: 25yd breast stroke, 50yd breast stroke, 25yd butterfly, 50yd freestyle, and the 200yd relay medley (50yd freestyle for him).  While he was disqualified for both breast stroke races (not sure why yet; likely his stroke), he shaved time off both his butterfly (13.31s) and freestyle (28.88s).  We are very proud of him!  Go Indian Creek Swim Club Sharks!!
