Today was the big conference swim meet. We thought it might get canceled because it was raining, once again, in the morning. Mom said we had to go anyway because they were more likely to hold for rain and not give up for the conference. Mom, for once, turned out to be right and after a couple of rain delays for the morning session (for 10 and younger) the day cleared up in to bright sunshine and the meet could go on.
Corwin swam 5 events, 100m medley, breast stroke, back stroke, free style, and free style relay. That was his first time this season for swimming the maximum number of events. For the back stroke, Corwin swam alone in his heat and I over heard a couple of other people commenting that it was hard to do that. Corwin swam OK, although his final relay finished last in its heat, slowing losing the lead on the final length and finishing just behind.
We’ll see if Corwin goes back next year, when he has to show up for the long morning practice instead of the shorter late morning practice.
