The boys both swam in the bronze meet. We got there and they warmed up for a half hour then just like last year a storm blew in and we had over an hour of waiting time because of lightning. We took the kids over to the school playground while we waited in the rain. Then the meet started. I couldn't believe how hot it was the minute the rain stopped. Tayson swam free, fly and breast stroke. Luke swam free, back and breast stroke. Tayson was heat winner for both free and fly and got DQ'd for doing 2 underwater kicks at the start (which we didn't know was a rule). Luke did great in his free and was leading the back until he hit the side and took a close 2nd in his heat. He got DQ'd on his breast stroke too for his arms going below his belly button. Almost every kid swimming got disqualified in the breast stroke - the guy was brutal if you ask me. I was a bit annoyed that they weren't consistent throughout the summer but I respect the judges in the end.
