Capturing our adventures one photo at a time...
These boys swam one whole mile! That’s 66 laps! They both did it last year too. Go boys go!
There was a big group of the older kids that all swam it…
There were some Samantha’s age that did it but she was at a camp that morning so it didn’t work out. She had a second chance this week but decided to go to tennis instead. You know I can’t hate on that!!
Maxwell actually went back and swam it for a second time this week. Lots of activity this summer!
The culmination of the swim season was on Saturday at the Senior County swim meet! I was so proud of all of the kids for qualifying in every event! You had to have a certain time in each event to be qualified to swim at SRCO and they did!! Woohoo! The meet was Saturday and Sunday at the Crossplex but we could only attend Saturday because we had to take Spencer to camp. It worked out great though because Saturday was freestyle, breaststroke, and IM – their favorites!
It was a really cool experience and I’m so glad we did it. Swimming has taught them so much about competing against themselves and their own time. Team sports are great but doing some individual sports is important too!
It was pretty cool to see their names up on the big screen at the Crossplex…
and doing it with friends makes it that much more fun of course!
None of them ended up with high finishes. Maxwell’s relay team got 4th but then he had a goggle malfunction on his freestyle which messed him up. Samantha won her heat in breaststroke and actually got 1st place overall but got DQ’d. Spencer swam great but didn’t crack that top tier.
I’m just so proud of them for going and giving it their all!
Go MBC Magic!
We made the drive to NC again to drop Spencer off for two weeks of fun at Falling Creek!!
He wasn’t nervous at all and I know he’s going to have the best time. Can’t wait to see some pictures!!
Even more swim meets! We’ve practically turned into fish this summer. Last week the kids had a meet in Vestavia and did great. It was raining and delayed but they got it in, thank goodness!
Go Spencer go…
Heat winner!
Maxwell in the middle…
Heat winner!
A fun night for all!
We then had our final regular season meet at home on Tuesday. I was out of town but Susan earned her swim mom badge and got the crew there!
Maxwell was ready thanks to Spencer’s sharpie skills…
We had more heat winners…
more fun with friends…
and awesome finishes!!
Check out these scores!
The most exciting thing though? Maxwell got swimmer of the week!!!! He’s been working so hard and I could not be happier for him!
Now I’ve got 3 swimmers of the week from this summer! Browns are killing it!
“Hey guys, I’m momma! Long black dress and a bun!”
Ha! She’s not wrong! I’ll take that mini me any day!
