City/County Swim Meet: Bragging A Little

Gotta share this info. This weekend was the "City/County" swim championship meet, which includes 15 local swim clubs and over 1100 swimmers.

TB broke meet records in 3 of his 4 individual events, anchored the 8 & under freestyle relay, and swam butterfly in the medley relay bringing his team from fourth place to first in his leg of the race. He did come in second in the 25 yard breaststroke, so it was a near perfect season, but he didn't seem to be disappointed by the loss. He's real laid back about the whole thing (and so are LBB and I), but people were treating him like a rock star.

The most amazing thing is that the records he broke have stood since 1996, 1990, and 1988. The old butterfly record was 21.58. He swam 17.54.

We're thinking college might be covered if he chooses to keep this up. That's my boy!

There were many of our friends and friends' children swimming in the meet, also. Lots of records were broken, lots of personal bests. Too numerous to list, but congratulations everyone! It was a fun time.

Awww... "that's my boy!" what proud papa words. I love it!

My son plays football and begins this week. I hope he keeps it up for a less expensive college ed too.

Enjoy your moments when you can... every parent deserves too!
