Two Years By The Coconut Tree: Swim Meet

We went to Josh's first Swim Meet on the 16th! He competed in the Boy's 6 and under 25 M: Freestyle, Backstroke, and Breaststroke! Here are some fun photos from the day.

Here are all the participants lining up to listen to instructions and swim a few preparatory laps across the pool:

Go Josh!
(Josh's first swim across the pool--he stopped a lot...)

Waiting on the benches for the events to start:

Josh's first event: 25 M Freestyle

Waiting for the signal (Josh is the farthest left):

Diving in!!! What an action shot!!

He made it!!

Event #2: 25 M backstroke! (I was super impressed that he did this one! It was so cute watching those little boys swim upside down and backwards through the pool...running into walls and the dividers and things since they couldn't see where they were going... And that he WON!!!!)

Event #3: 25 M Breaststroke

What a kid! We did have to leave early, so we didn't get to stay for the awards ceremony, but it was so fun! PERFECT weather for a swim meet: It was SUPER hot and sunny.

Fortunately, there was a really shallow kiddie pool (it was probably about a foot deep all the way through) and so Andrew and Claire spent the whole 2 1/2 hours in that pool with barely any supervision and enjoyed themselves immensely!!
