Bring it On!

Caite and our friend Marrin after warm-up

Isaac and Caite had their first Swim Meet of the season yesterday. When I asked Isaac if he was ready to swim the 50 now instead of the 25 he responded, "Bring it on!" He did great! He swam freestyle, backstroke, butterfly, and relay. He opted out of the IM this time, but will do it next week for sure. One of his best buddies, Caden, is on the team. It gives them a little friendly competition. It's fun because one week Caden beats Isaac and the next Isaac will beat Caden. They are pretty even in their skill.

Caden won this one, but Isaac swam well. He was happy with his time. They both set personal best records.

Backstroke..Isaac bearly ahead (he's the one closest to the bottom of the pic)

Isaac finishing backstroke...not another soul around...for a few seconds.

Caite was excited to do kick board. I'm glad they have that as an option for the little ones. It gives these little ones confidence and gets them ready to freestyle by the end of the season. At the beginning of practice season Caite asked if she could get a team suit. I told her when she could freestyle the whole 25 yards with using her side breathing then I would get her one. It only took a few weeks. Friday at practice she did it. After, she came up and said, "I did it! I get a suit now!" Yep. So now I need to fork over a small lump of cash and order her team suit.

Caite smiling...ready to kick hard.

Caite is the one with her head done at the top in 2nd place.
