The County swim meets were held this week. They divide it up into three tiers, Gold, Silver, and Bronze. You are put into a tier based on what your fastest times were in certain events at the earlier city meets. Ivan qualified to swim freestyle and backstroke at the Bronze level meet. Lincoln qualified to swim freestyle, backstroke, and breaststroke at the Gold level meet.
Ivan's meet was on Wednesday at the Springville pool. He did awesome and took 2nd place in backstroke and 3rd place in freestyle. I am so proud of him for how much he's improved this season.
Lincoln's meet was on Saturday at the Spanish Fork pool, and it was hotter than Hades. I seriously thought I was going to melt my pregnant self into the concrete. Luckily, Linc didn't seem bothered by it. He did awesome and took 2nd place in the breaststroke, 8th place in backstroke, and 16th place in freestyle. Even though he didn't qualify to swim it at the county meet, I am proud of him for trying out a new, hard race, the IM, this year, and for choosing to dive off the blocks at the start like a real swimmer, instead of just off the edge of the pool. Doing new things can be scary, but it also makes you the better for it. It was a great season for both of my little Swan swimmers!
