Wow what a weekend it was. Dallas tried out for the swim team a month ago and made the team. Last weekend was her first swim meet to compete in, and she loved it. On Saturday she swam in four events; 50 Freestyle, 50 Backstroke, 25 Breaststroke, and 50 Butterfly. She also was in a 100 Medley Relay. Sunday she swam three events; 25 Butterfly, 25 Freestyle, and 25 Backstroke. She did a Freestyle Relay too. If she didn't do her stokes correctly she would be DQ'd (disqualified). Her events were ages 8 and under. At 6 she was one of the youngest kids participating. She won two of her heats. Her 25 yard Freestyle she did in 26 seconds, and the 50 yard Backstroke she did in 1:02. She got 3rd place in both events. Not bad for the first time. Her Freestyle Relay team got first. Needless to say she was pumped and we loved watching her. Emma is excited for when she can be on the swim team too.
