Chloe had her first swim meet on Saturday. She was so excited for it, and just a little bit nervous. She was signed up to do 4 events-the 25 freestyle; the 25 backstroke; the 25 breaststroke; and a rely team. (for those of you who don't know a 25 is one length of the pool).
The day started bright and early-we had to be at the pool at 6:45 am. Then the waiting game began, this was the hardest part for her-waiting for her turn to swim.
Her first race was the rely team race. Chloe was the closer so she swam last-her team took third!
Second up was the backstroke-this is her weakest race and the hardest for her. She took third in her heat and 8th over all.
Her last race was the freestyle-her favorite. I had to leave because I needed to get home and get ready for her birthday party, but Daddy and Grandpa stayed with her. So sad I had to miss it, because she won! 1st in her heat and we are pretty sure 1st overall, though they hadn't posted the final scores by the time they left. She did so good she beat the second fastest swimmer by at least 3 seconds and some of the others she beat by as much as 20-40. WOW!
We are so proud of her. She did a great job and is already looking forward to her next swim meet next Saturday.
