City Swim Meet 2011

Brody competed in his first City Swim Meet at Centennial Sportsplex on Saturday, July 23. It was a very early morning! We had to be there for warm ups at 6:30, which meant waking up both boys from a dead sleep. Plus, we were surprising the boys by heading straight for the beach from the meet, so we had to have our car completely packed for a week away from home...bikes and all. It was a crazy morning, but worth every second of craziness! Brody did amazingly well!

Brody's first race was his 25 yard Freestyle. His seed time for this event was 1:00, and he finished in 41.74 seconds...almost 20 seconds faster!!! This put him 75th out of 106 six and under boy swimmers. His seed time for the 25 yard backstroke was 58.88 seconds, and he finished in 46.90 seconds...a 12 second improvement!! This placed him 65th out of 89 six and under boy swimmers. His relay team finished 3rd! The coaches joked at practice that the City Meet Pool was magic, and I think they might be right!

The Marlins finished as the AA City Meet Champions!! We are so proud of Brody and all of the Bluegrass Marlins Swimmers. We are already looking forward to next season!!
