Swim Meet

Trent recently moved up to the Pre-Team group. This group will prepare him for the competitive group that competes with other swim teams. He was so excited to move to the Pre-Team group and worked so hard in the last year to get to this point.
Moving into the Pre-Team group means competing in Intrasquad meets. At these meets your events are timed and you swim against other Pre-Team and Bronze group swimmers. The Bronze group is where Trent will move next. Trent was a bit nervous about the meet and was definitely not thrilled about it being long course, but I think after his first event the nerves went away and he had a great time.
 All the kids wrote their event number, heat and lane assignments on their hand. A sign of a real swimmer.
 Talking with his friends.
 Thumbs up!
 Getting ready to race.
 50 meter breaststroke. Trent went without his goggles for this event. 
He did a good job.
 His time was 1:16.37.
 50 meter Backstroke.
 Trent doesn't really like backstroke, but it is his best stroke. 
He has great form.
 Trent liking the time his sees on the scoreboard...1:02.00. 
He placed 2nd in his heat.
 50 meter Freestyle.
Trent's time was 1:00.94.
Trent did a great job in his first Intrasquad meet. I can't wait to see how he does at his next one. We are so proud of him and how far his come with his strokes and endurance in a year.
