First Swim Meet

Rylee had her first swim meet on Monday and did GREAT! She swam two events, 25 butterfly and 25 freestyle. The poor girl, she got so excited before her first race that she forgot to put her goggles down but she kept going and even ripped them off halfway through the race,lol. I really don't think she even knows that she's racing against other kids yet, she's just excited when she finishes because she likes to hear the parents clapping for her. Miss Avery LOVED cheering for her big sister, but i think she liked the snack area better, every time I looked over she had convinced someone else to buy her a piece of candy. Yes, mean mommy put a stop to that after a while. Swim team practice is going good so far. It's Monday through Friday for a half an hour. They usually do a warm up of three laps (with a break after each one), work on stroke technique for a while and then do a warm down of a few more laps. The Wilshire Relays is coming up so they have been working on relay starts lately as well. Here's a few pictures of Rylee at her first meet!

Even the smallest team shirt is way too big!
