This past weekend was the league swim meet. It's always a long evening at the pool, but it is always fun because our teams are usually pretty dominant. As I said to Andrew though, I do miss watching Robert swim because he was our competitive one. Last year he placed in all of his events, and even received a medal for one.
Not so much happening that way for our family this year. Catherine was in two events, and finished both of them in last place. Not just in her heat, but overall. In fact, she in one event she finished nearly a minute behind next-to-last place and was over 20 seconds over her best time of the season. We aren't really sure what happened. Even spectators in the stands were sympathetic towards her in that event, but of course she did finish!
Thomas only swam in one event, but he did manage to cut 2 seconds off his PR for that event. It's been challenging with him this year. He isn't really into practicing, and he isn't an overly coachable kid. It's frustrating, but I'm not sure what we can do about it.
Both teams won the league title for the 13th year in a row! I'm grateful they can be a part of a winning team, although I do wish they were able to contribute more. The girls score was closer than many years past, but the boys won by over 250 points. It is fun to watch such domination!
This is the last week for practices, and things are beginning to wind down. Andrew and I are appreciating that we can eat family dinners again, and I'm looking forward to fewer swim towels to wash making for less laundry! It's really hard to believe how quickly this year is flying by!
