Back in the Pool Again

 Katie is back into swimming again this year so we are in full swim team mode now.

 Last weekend Katie had her first swim meet of the year.  She was a little nervous when we first got there, but when she saw some of her friends she started feeling better.

 

 We got there a little early so we had to wait a bit before she could get into the pool so she came and hung out with us.  Grandma and Grandpa Shattuck came to watch so they were able to talk with her before she got into the water.

Katie had 5 races to swim in and she couldn't wait to get started.  There is a lot of down time during a swim meet so Katie kept looking up at us in the bleachers and waving to make sure we were still watching her.

John put this video together of her 3 solo races and it turned out really nice.  Katie did a great job and she ended up coming in first place in every race.
Katie swam a 25m freestyle, 25m backstroke, and a 50m freestyle for her solo races.  She was in 2 relays as well and in both she swam a 25m freestyle.  It was so much fun to watch her in the pool and it was amazing to see how much she has improved since 2 years ago when she started swim team.  It was a great start to her season and we can't wait to see how well she improves over this year. Great Job Katie!!!
