We had a Mock Swim Meet last night so all of us newbies would know what to do on Saturday. We just did a quick run through with the kickboarders and freestyle. I didn't sign up Hayden, because he's not quite there yet (skill wise). Caite got there and freaked out because the race was in the deep end. Even though they had older swimmers in the lanes to help if needed, she wouldn't do it.
Isaac was a fish. He dove right in and swam his best. He came in 2nd for his heat. His coach was pleased with his time and said "you secured a place on the relay team." Isaac was excited. He has become quite the athlete and is quite the competitor. He's all about the time. His first question when he got out of the water was "what was my time?"...25 seconds for 25 yards. He was happy. At this point we he doesn't know the time for a fast swim vs. a slow one. As long as he knows how his time that's all that matters.
So here's a big shout out to our Maumelle Marlins! Go Marlins Go!

Of course Isaac was amazing! The kid has been in water his whole life! Good for him!
Did he take private swim lessons? How did he learn? We have always done the city lessons, but I have hesitated this year, because I don't know if they help my kids progress that much. I would like to see something a bit more intense. Especially for Tanner. Congrats to Isaac!
