Britton had a swim meet Saturday, and we just got his official results back today. He swam the 25 meter freestyle and got fifth place for his age group. More importantly, he improved his time by 6 seconds! He also swam the 25 meter breaststroke. It was his first time swimming that stroke in a meet, so we were really happy that he swam the stroke correctly and didn't get a DQ (dis-qualified). Not only did he not get a DQ, he placed second for his age group! This was the biggest swim meet Britton has participated in so far. In fact, we thought we'd be at the meet for about an hour, and it ended up being three hours before Britton was able to swim his two events. We spent three hours for him to swim a total of about 65 seconds. What a morning! Boston and Britton were both very patient considering what a long ordeal it was waiting for Britton's swim events. The video isn't fantastic because I was video-taping with one hand and holding a screaming baby in the other hand. The next swim meet is scheduled in two weeks, but Richard will be in St. George, and I haven't decided yet whether I'm up to doing another swim meet by myself with Britton and Boston. We shall see.
