Laura has joined the next level in swimming now that she has gone past the twelve year mark. Now the competition gets a little tougher. She was in her first over 12 tourney this weekend and did just great. Her competition was kids from age 13 to 18 and she did just fine for herself. Theresa, Bill and Maura came to cheer her on. Kara was there also because Emily was racing too. Emily does great, her favorite stroke is the breast stroke. Its funny that it Laura's least favorite stroke. Laura's stroke is the Butterfly.
Laura was signed up for the 200 breast stroke today, which she dislikes.......so off she went. During the first 25 yards of the race the unthinkable happened...she lost her goggles. That had been her nemesis during the summer. Ohhh Laura. She shoots to the front and stops at the other side of the pool, pulls her glasses around and continues on to win the heat in impressing time. But those damn goggles.....i'll have to nail them in her head next time!!!
In the first event of the day, Catherine and Jack had their opening swim meet for the year in their swim group. Catherine told me she was so nervous before she started that she almost threw up. She did just fine. She did good enough on two events to qualify for the regionals. They practice so much and are such good athletes.....she is a little nervous about things though. She does settle down and has fun but it takes a little bit of time though. She has a very good coach and has friends on the team. Once she starts smiling she doesnt stop but she puts alot of pressure on herself......but she is cute...
