First Swim Meet

Today, the BIGS had their first Piranhas Swim Club swim meet.  It was the Trick-or-Treat meet hosted by their school.  They have been training every Tuesday and Thursday during their after school activity time.


Warm-ups started at 6:45, so we had a very early start to the day.

 We were packed and out the door at 6:20.

 They were quicker getting warmed up and ready than the sun!
 Thankfully, they had a lot of friends and neighbors at the meet to keep them entertained during the day.

 Backstroke was first for Hannah.  For the 7-8 age group they need to swim 50m, so she had to do a turn half way through her races.

 Her second race was the breaststroke.



 Kaylee wasn't too sure about the whole swim meet thing.  She likes to swim, but not against anyone!!
She decided to just sign up for one race.....the 25 meter free.


 She finished!!!!
 Hannah's 50 free
 50 butterfly
 I can't imagine myself doing 1 meter of the butterfly, but Hannah did a great job at 50.
 4th leg of the free relay

It was a long day at the pool, but I think the girls had fun at their first meet.  Hannah was excited to get 
a medal for her relay.  Kaylee was disappointed not to get one!  Now they are showered and resting before neighborhood Trick-or-Treating tonight.  I am sure they will be asleep once their heads hit the pillow tonight and will hopefully sleep in a bit tomorrow morning!!!!
Life is Good when swimming.
