Chaser Speed Racer!


After getting home late last night, we got to get up at 6:30 for the Countys Swim Meet! But it was worth it. Only the best swimmers in the County compete in this swim meet so there was a lot of steep competition. Each kid can only swim 3 events and Chase chose freestyle, back, and individual medley (1 lap of each of the 4 strokes). He placed 3rd in freestyle, 4th in backstroke, and would have placed 4th in individual medley but got DQed because he did a 1 hand touch after breaststroke instead of a 2 hand touch! He was in tears; so frustrating for a little kid after swimming 4 laps perfect to get DQed in the end for something so silly as a touch of the wall! Oh well, we were so proud of him anyway. Great job, Chaser boy! Oh and for relays, we got 1st in medley relay and then they moved Chase and Boston up to the 9-10 year old division for free relay and the got 5th. Not bad for swimming against kids that are so much older and bigger than them!

Chase, that's amazing! You big boys will have to teach Cam and Coop how to do those strokes--their mom doesn't know the first thing about swimming!
