Swim Meet #5

Today was the boys last regular season swim meet of the season.  It was a home meet and went really fast this time.  Warmups were at 7 am, the meet started at 8 am, and we were done at 10:30 am.  It was overcast and drizzled a few times which ended up being perfect!

The boys did really well!

Rylan somehow took another 8 seconds off his backstroke time and WON THE EVENT!!!

(And got a heat ribbon, of course.)

Here are Rylan's times for today:

Freestyle: 37.47 seconds, 6th place (0.3 seconds slower than last week)
Backstroke: 36.05 seconds, 1st place (best time by 8.83 seconds)
Freestyle Relay: 02:33:50, 2nd place

Carter did great too and improved his best backstroke time.  He still DQ'd in the IM but this time it was for underwater recovery in the butterfly (which means he didn't get his arms high enough out of the water).  I'm so proud of him for not DQ'ing because of his breaststroke technique.  He worked so hard on that last week!  Carter's medley relay also DQ'd but it was because of the boy swimming breaststroke (not Carter who swam butterfly).

Here are Carter's times for today:

Freestyle: 28:23 seconds, 10th place (exact same time as last week - 0.15 seconds slower than his best time)

Backstroke: 28.41 seconds, 3rd place (best time by 1.38 seconds)
Freestyle Relay: 01:48:52, 2nd place
Medley Relay: DQ
Individual Medley: DQ

The last meet of the season is the county championship at the end of next week.
