Swim Team

This year Tayson did swim team - and he LOVED it. His final meet was the Bronze Invitational. It was an outside meet in the afternoon and it managed to get rained out. He did get to swim his relay race though. He and Ryan were both in the relay and they told us that Tayson would be swimming the breaststroke and Ryan the butterfly....Steve and I weren't sure why they would be swimming those and then found out they were in the freestyle relay and their coach joked with them and told them since it was freestyle they could swim any stroke they wanted and gave them examples of "Tayson you could do the breaststroke & Ryan you could do the butterfly" which they took as that is what they had to do. Thank goodness we figured it out before they swam. Right after the first rain delay Tayson's relay was first up so I went over to take pictures and saw Claire wandering a bit. As soon as the race was finished I was going to look for her and I heard over the loud speaker "Kathy Johnson we have a lost girl looking for you". How embarrassing! She wasn't scared at all though just standing there waiting for me.

The meet was completely cancelled after a few more races then we went back to finish it on Friday. It was fun because then Todd got to be there. Tayson swam the freestyle and the breaststroke.

He was first in his heat - and kicked butt!

Tayson after the breaststroke - doesn't he look happy?

I am so proud of how hard Tayson worked this year, how much he improved and especially how much fun he had. Not one morning at 7:10 am when he had to get out of bed did he complain or go back to sleep. He worked hard and improved a ton. I can't wait until next year!!
