2nd swim meet

The girls had their second swim meet the end of June in Maricopa. The pool is quite different--it is shallow on one end (around 4 feet) and then drops to 12 feet at the other end. It definitely made for different swimming--they could tell a difference particularly as they transitioned from shallow to deep or vice versa. The girls both did great. Megan improved most of her times, some by as much as 30 seconds!!!

Times:

Sarah (50 yard):

Freestyle: 39.3 sec

Backstroke: 45.6 sec

Breaststroke: 56.65 sec

Butterfly: 48.09 sec

Megan (25 yard):

Freestyle: 48.6 sec

Backstroke: 48.1 sec

Breaststroke: 1 min 15.56 sec

Butterfly: 1 min 20.22 sec

Sarah breaststroke. I love this picture--you can see the concentration and determination on her face.

Megan doing butterfly. This is a bit of a challenging stroke and Megan is doing great. I'm posting a couple pictures so you can see the wiggles her body is doing as she does butterfly. 

Another part of butterfly. You can really see how her hips/bottom move to propel her body forward.

Almost done! Go Megan!

Sarah butterfly. I love watching her swim butterfly--she's really good and does fly across the water!
