Another Day Sitting Poolside

We have had a few swim meets in the past month and Katie keeps improving each time. Her coach has been putting her in some different events than she usually dose and that has been a challenge for her but she is also learning a lot and we like that.

In her last 2 meets she swam a 100 IM which means she dose 25m or one length of the pool, all 4 strokes (butterfly, back, breast, free) in order.  That is a tough thing for her to do because she has never swam more than 50m in a race before but she did really well and came in 3rd.  She also swam a 25m breast for the first time and she came in 2nd in that race.

In her last meet she was put in races with the 10-11 year old's which was a good challenge for her and she was able to do some more new events.  She swam a 100m free and was put into a 200m relay which each girl swims 50m.  We are so happy to watch Katie push herself and grow each week.  Great Job Katie!
