Swim Meets

Swim season is in full swing here.  Carter has had 3 meets and Cade joined the team late and had his 1st meet last week.  Both boys are doing awesome!  Carter usually swims the 50 breaststroke, 50 free and 2 relay events.  He usually gets DQ'd in breast because he slips into a scissor kick when he goes fast, but it's his favorite event.  I finally convinced him to try the 50 back in the last meet.  He won 1st place!  I really wanted to say "See! I do know something!" but I refrained myself.  He also got 3rd in the 50 free, and DQ'd in the breast. Cade swam the 50 free and 100 free and took 2nd and 3rd.  Not bad for having been to one practice!  I'm glad he is enjoying swim team.  He rides his bike to practice with a group of neighborhood kids.  They have to leave at 6:20 am.  He has been really good about getting up and being on time.  Carter gets to sleep an extra hour before he goes to practice at 8.  Way to go Tigersharks!  They have 2 more meets and then the big regional championships that they have both qualified for.
