Meet 3
Another week, another swim meet. This one was the one away meet of the season (since we're missing the last meet). The pool was interesting to swim in because it went from deep to shallow to deep. The kids are glad it's not their normal pool.

Between the three kids, they got every place except 4th at this meet. We kindly requested that one of the girls get 4th on butterfly but instead they both got 3rd. (Matthew got 6th, which was another ribbon we were missing before butterfly.)
Megan would like to add that between the three meets, she's gotten every place but 6th. |
Fun Day at Swim
Friday, the kids had a fun day at swim. The older kids (Sarah) swam 100m and then played water games like water polo, water basketball and sharks and minnows. We don't have any pictures of this since Sarah was the only member of the family at the pool at the time. The younger kids (Megan and Matthew) swam 50m and then played on water inflatables their coach brought. Here are a few pictures of Megan and Matthew:

Meet 4
This was the last meet for the kids this year since we will be gone for the final meet. It was a beautiful day at the home pool. Megan was very happy to complete her collection of ribbons by winning 6th place in not one but two races! Matthew swam under a minute in two of his races. In one of the races, he didn't come in last place, which was super exciting! (We really don't make a big deal about places and focus on their time and how much it's improved. However, it's exciting to not come in last at least once.) Sarah did well. She had someone she didn't know come up to her after a race to tell her that she had very good form.

That's a lot of swimming going on there! It looks very wet and cool.
