Grady joined the Black Mountain Stingrays this year. We didn't know what we were getting ourselves into joining the swim team but it's been fun so far. Turns out, Grady is a darn good swimmer. We need to harness that energy somehow. He raced in four races and won two of them. He got first place in 8 and under backstroke and butterfly. I didn't even know he could do butterfly.....I can't.
Never having gone to a swim meet before, I didn't know what we were doing. We managed to get him signed in, inked up (they write all over their arms so the kids know what races they are doing) and in the water at the right times. We were at the pool from 4:30 until 9. Grady was a ball of energy, hopping all over the place, wanting his races to be right NOW. He had no idea that he would have to wait around. I have never seen that kid nervous before but he was that day.
Now that we know, we will be better prepared.
25 freestyle
He won the backstroke
Get ready....
Get set.....
GO.....
He's off and swimming
Myles had fun too. He found friends and hung out around the pool. Didn't complain once. He is rather social when he wants to be. Little E isn't pictured because if I put her down she would attempt to drown herself by launching into the pool. Totally fearless and all over the place.
