Alex’s Swim at Texas Summer Games
Aug 8th
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.

Andrew’s playing T-Ball this year for the first time on the “Oakland Athletics.” Over the past couple of games I’ve taken some pictures and put together a few into a collection.
Back in the Water for Competition
Sep 24th
Each year they seem to tweak the scoring format a little bit and this year the only two individual events were the 50 Free and 50 Back. They also have a mixed relay but we didn’t swim on those teams. Since the meet has a large number of people who have never really swum before no one is allowed to start off the blocks which makes things a little difficult. Overall we were pretty successful in our individual races, RISD ended up winning the meet and TI placed third.
