Sorry I don't have any pictures to post of the boys first winter swim meet. But hopefully in the upcoming meets I will get some taken. It isn't easy to take pictures in an indoor swimming area. I always have to do a lot of fixing on my pictures to make them look good.
The boys did great for their first meet. Winter swim is a whole nother ballgame from summer swim. The competition is greater and the practices are harder. Any given night for practices Zach will swim 1500 to 2000 yards for his age group and Jordan will swim 2500 to 3000 yards for his age group. That is a lot of swimming, especially when the length of the pool is only 25 yards, a lot of back and forth. They sure love it though.
For those who don't know, we go to Fort Dodge to do winter swimming through the YMCA. All of the practices and meets though are at the Fort Dodge High School. They have a wonderful facility there, they also have a great high school swim team. Jordan has been asked by one of the coaches (a high school swimmer) to swim for them when he is in high school. Something to think about I guess. :)
Here are the results of the first meet:
Zach -
100Y individual medley relay - 1st ( shattered his summer conference record by 20sec.)
200Y medley relay - 2nd (he was bumped up to the 11-12 year olds for this one)
200Y free relay - 3rd (had to swim the first and fourth leg because someone was gone)
50Y butterfly - 4th
50Y freestyle - 6th
Jordan -
50Y butterfly - 1st (has qualified for state and for regionals in Minn. if our info is correct)
100Y individual medley relay - 1st (beat old time by 10 seconds)
200Y medley relay - 2nd
200Y freestyle relay - 2nd
50Y freestyle - 4th
Awesome job boys!!
