Big shout-out to my super swimming boys! Simon continues to surprise me. He was tired yesterday, but he as soon as we got tot he pool, he got right in with his group and did SUCH a great job! Their group even tried no kickboards freestyle and backstroke for the first time last night and he gave it his best shot (no complaining.... Ben has me conditioned to expect complaining) Held his own in freestyle too! I can't wait to see him in his first meet. He's going to do a great job!
Then, the older group practiced. Ben did great, but kept grabbing the lane line when the coach wasn't looking (which drives me nuts! But all the other kids were doing it too....argh) At the end though, the coach had them swim a 25m freestyle as fast as they could and Ben came in first against three much bigger kids. I need to come up with some kind of size and speed-related nickname for him... Hrm.....
