First Swim Meet

Noah and Grace have been on a swim team since last March. They have become very strong swimmers and we have loved watching them swim. They had their first swim meet on Saturday and we were all very nervous! But they both did an excellent job and we are so proud of them!

These videos are of Noah's 2 races and Grace's 1 race. It was kind of a weird setup because we were up in the viewing area behind a glass wall. So we could not cheer for the kids and we are not right down by the water. But if you listen, you will hear the announcer say their names...they loved that part!

Grace was racing with 8 year olds and did such a fantastic job. She took 3rd in her heat and 10th overall!

Noah took first overall in the backstroke!


Noah took first in his heat and 2nd overall in freestyle!

How awesome, you must be proud parents. I wonder who taught them to swim? Could it be mom? Or does it run in their blood :) Thanks for sharing the videos, they were great!
