We're finally done!

This was the last weekend for swim meets for this season! We had the Gulf Champs for 12 and Under with B and under times. For those of you new to swimming language, let me explain. USA Swimming (the governing body for swimming in the US) sets "motivational" times for age groups (10&Under, 11-12, etc.) by stroke (free, back, fly, breast, IM) and distance (50, 100, 200, etc.). The times go from B through AAAA, with B being the "slowest" of the competitive times. It's a big deal when a kid gets his first B time! So, how did we do? AWESOME, BABY! Both boys got personal bests in all their events. Adam got 3 ribbons: 4th for 50 Fly, 7th for 50 Back and 2nd for the 200 Free Relay. Geary earned 2 ribbons: 7th for the 500 Free and 3rd for the 200 Free Relay. Adam also earned his first BB time in the 50 Fly. Geary continued climbing up the ladder in the 11-12 bracket by getting another B time in the 500 Free. His coach told him that he swam a perfect race. His last 100 was the same time as his first 100. Geary is definitely going to be a long-distance swimmer. And both boys are awesome at the Butterfly! So how about a few pictures?
