Chandler competed in the freestyle and breast stroke events. He placed 4th in freestyle out of about 15 competitors his age. We left before the final results were tallied so we're not sure how he placed overall for breast stroke, although he placed 3rd in his heat. We were told that ribbons would be mailed home. I'm sure Chandler will check the mailbox daily to see if he won a second ribbon.
Here is our little fish named Chandler. This was his first year in the Summer League program. Practices were held Mon-Friday and Chandler competed in 3 meets. He won his heat at the first meet and won an extra ribbon. Chandler was so excited.
Here's our Olivia competing in the butterfly stroke. She is very good and placed 1st in her heat, and we believe she placed 1st overall but are anxiously awaiting the ribbons to be mailed home. Olivia can "fly" one-armed. She's super talented.
On her mark, get set. . .DIVE! Olivia is a natural swimmer. She has a very good line and is a great diver. (She didn't acquire these skills from her mom!) Olivia placed 3rd out of 25 at the first meet for freestyle. Her time was about 20.5 seconds. It was her fastest race. She plans to compete in swimming in the Fall and Winter instead of gymnastics.
