Meet #2

Dylan's second swim meet was last night, what fun!  It was the first meet at our home pool and we won again!   Dylan competed in his first ever 100 meter relay and won a ribbon for 4th place.  He also competed in 25 meter freestyle and backstroke, shaving time off both of those strokes since the meet this past Saturday.  Go Dylan!

He absolutely loves the swim team.  Its a big commitment with practice everyday and two meets a week, but to see the absolute joy on Dylan's face makes it more than worth it.   We've found his 'thing', this is just clicking for him more than any team sport. He loves the other kids, the coaches are absolutely amazing, and his swimming is getting better all the time.  I love the camaraderie of all the kids cheering for each other, and that its an individual sport, for the good of the whole team.  There are around 130 kids on the team, and everyone is so nice. Seriously, the spirit of the team is so welcoming and positive.  Its just a nice group to be around and spend a lot of our summer with.

He loves it so much that he says he wants to still do a swim team over the winter, so I'll have to look into that for him.

Here he is, getting ready to swim his 25 meter freestyle:

So proud!

Backstroke!

We swam against another local team from Leesburg, and our wonderful friends are on that team so the boys got to see their good friends B and K.
