Swim Meet

Preston had a swim/dive meet today.  I asked the other three kids to come and watch.  Swim meets are LONG, so they weren't too excited. Once we got there we discovered the pool closed.  Someone had an accident in the pool.  Yuck!  I took the kids home and fed them dinner, so that worked out.  We made it back right as they were about to start the diving competition.  Preston did great!  He did his hurdle front dive.  Since he is so little, the degree of difficulty on that is 1.8.  When I showed him how much his score multiplied he was pretty excited.  He tried to explain the scoring system to another kid in line.  Preston ended up 5th out of 9.  A huge improvement from last year!

The kids set up their stuff in the pavilion.  I was surprised how well you could see up there.  It is shady, and there are tables so it worked great! Mike came straight from work and arrived before we did.  I had to time this meet.  They assigned me to be in the same lane as Julia, a friend from high school.  That was a lot of fun.  Preston swam the 25 free and back.  Mike took everyone home once Preston finished his back stroke.  Swim meets make for long days, at least the weather was perfect!
