Swimmers 'R' Us

Mckenna and Ainsley competed in their first swim meet of the season on Saturday. They had to be up and to the pool for a 6:30am start. They were excited and a little nervous to see how the Alberta meets were ran. They quickly realized that they are all the same, and settled in for a day of races, snacks, drinks, and more snacks. I had a cooler full of food and after every race they would recharge their system for the next one. Bill had to work, so he missed all the action, but Dakota and I sat and cheered all day. Well, maybe me, while Dakota coloured and watched movies. She was pretty patient considering we never left until 5:30pm.
Anyway, the girls raced hard and even won some of their heats! Ainsley signed herself up to compete in the 100m IM which is where they do a length of each discipline (butterfly, breast, backstroke, and freestyle). She was slow and steady and very proud of herself for finishing without being disqualified. Mckenna swam hard and her fastest race was her backstroke!
We are proud of our girls! They worked hard, cheered loud and are ready for their next meet!
I've attached the results for their races...it lists the event, time, and placing.
