To be honest, McKay has been dreading swim team. He was dying to do it and hated watching his brothers and friends all doing it last year without him, but when it came down to it...it terrified him. I think part of it was that he didn't know what to expect. For months before we even started swim he was praying not to be scared of swim team and then once swim team started, he prayed not to be scared of the swim meet. If you can see in the picture above, he was so worried. Thank goodness he ended up thinking the whole thing was fun.
This is right before his first race, which was a medley relay. Josh came to help him not feel so worried. Dads are good like that.
Just about ready to swim.
He did it! And I don't think it was as scary as he thought it would be.
These two are loving it. They have most of the friends they had last year. Hunter has moved up to swim with the older kids, which is hard because he's once again at the bottom of the speed chain, but he is working hard.
Lincoln and Hunter got to be on the same relay team.
Just about ready to go. Lincoln swam breast stroke and Hunter swam free style.
Lincoln is actually crazy fast at breast stroke this year.
Getting ready to go.
Hunter also did really well and he especially did well on their last relay, which was the freestyle one.
Dad was the recorder of times for this meet.
Getting ready for his first dive off the blocks in a meet.
Most of the kids this age do a belly flop when they are diving off the blocks.
McKay swam butterfly in this meet which is so hard! We were so proud of him!
One of the best things about the meets are that our friend Brenda brings these awesome huge Otter Pops. It was a great first meet and McKay isn't scared anymore!
