This past weekend Alex and I were in Waco Texas for the Texas Amateur Swimming State Meet. It’s a league that’s meant for kids who normally don’t swim on a competitive team during the year. Since this was his first year competing we were pretty impressed that he was able to place well enough at the regional meet and make it to the state meet. And by impressed, we also mean, really, we have to drive to Waco and spend the night for a 25 free and a relay?

He swam really well. In the 25 Free he took 2 seconds off his best time and went 17.49 and placed 13th. He also swam on the 4×25 Free relay and they came in 6th overall.

Here is the video of his 25 free. He’s in lane one swimming wild man, no cap or goggles.
