Our Own Michael Phelps

minus the bong hits, of course! It is Tuesday, so that means it is swim meet night! Jack swam in the 25 yd freestyle and the 25 yd backstroke. He did really well! This was his first backstroke race and he looked great doing the stroke. He swam backstroke the whole 25 yds ...didn't roll over once. I think Jack was most excited that since he swam 2 races, he got 2 treats...a (2 ft) pixie stick and a snowcone! We just couldn't be prouder of how hard he works in the pool and how much his form has improved this season. I was looking at his freestyle times over the last 3 meets, and he has gotten 3 seconds faster; evidence that he is getting stronger and faster.

Stretching before his freestyle race. Isn't he just the cutest little thing?!?!


Look at that good form!


Go, Jack, Go!


Ready for his backstroke race. And I was worried he wouldn't know how to start off...silly Mommy!


And he's off!


Good job, Jack!


For the 6 & under group, swim team is about learning your strokes and having the courage to swim in the race. That really is the achievement....the rest is just bonus. Every single time I see these little ones standing on the starting blocks, whether he is mine or not, I just get tears in my eyes. I am so proud for all of them. How brave they are. And I am not the only one...one of my good friends cried the first time she saw Jack swim in a race!

I am sure all you other mommas understand.
