Today Jill had her first swim meet. They called it the I Can Swim Fun Meet....and it was a lot of fun. The kids got their first experience in a swim meet. All the parents sat along the deck to watch and to cheer...and cheer we did! Jill swam front stroke, breast stroke, back stroke and butterfly - all 25 metres, then did 50 metres of free style. She was really nervous about it all before-hand - but as the meet unfolded she decided it was really quite a lot of fun. 25 metres is still pretty far for her to swim - so 50 was a real challenge! We were sure proud of her for her efforts! Her favorite is the back-stroke - probably because it's easiest to breathe in that stroke. She hasn't quite mastered breathing in front crawl - but she's getting there! After each heat she'd come over to where we were sitting and hug us and tell us her time - which I dutifully recorded for her. It was GREAT!
