Lollipop Race

Tonight, Josiah swam in his first swim meet. He swam in the lollipop race. Here he is waiting to go.

There he goes with his backpack.  Each lollipop swimmer has a big kid swim with them.

Josiah sometimes swims laps with his backpack with the eight and under swimmers.

After the lollipop race, he got a Twizzler instead of a lollipop.

Here is Lydia getting ready to swim backstroke.  I think she got second.  She swam in freestyle and backstroke.

Wesley only swam freestyle. He got first place in backstroke on Saturday so he couldn't swim that stroke in a B meet tonight.  His coach said said he could try breast stroke or butter fly but that he would be disqualified for not being able to do the stroke correctly. So, we were able to leave the tri-meet a little earlier.

I am loving the swim team experience.  I don't think Chris likes it half as much as I do.  Thankfully, the kids like it.  But, maybe not as much as I do.
