Olivia enjoyed her swim team activities this summer and has decided to continue swimming throughout the school year. Today was our first meet of the season. This event was a pentathlon and her five events included swimming 25 yards in each stroke and then a 50 yard freestyle. We were so proud of her. She PR'd in every event except the butterfly. She improved by 5-6 seconds in the backstroke and both freestyle events. She had a 9 second improvement in breaststroke and finished in 4th place. This is her best stroke. The butterfly was a challenge. This was her first time attempting the butterfly in competition. She has had some trouble with this stroke at practice, and she DQ'd at the meet. Her birthday is next month, so this was her last competition in the 8u age group. The race distances get longer in the 9-10 division, so it will be interesting to see how she handles this.
