We were so proud of Grace, as she qualified to swim in the Zone, which is the next step up from the swimming carnival! At the carnival, you are swimming against other kids in the school, where the zone is competing against kids from other schools, as well as your own. It was so exciting just to make it this far! She qualified to swim both the freestyle and the backstroke. Unfortunately, after diving in to swim the freestyle, her goggles weren't tight enough and fell off. She kept her eyes closed and did more of a zig-zag to the end, thus really hurting her time. I was proud of her for finishing and continuing on, though! Regrouping for the backstroke, she did much better and came in 5th overall!!! That wasn't enough to qualify for state, but for her first time ever doing this - I was one proud mama!!
Unfortunately I was taking a video the whole time she was swimming for dad, so I didn't get any pictures of her actually swimming....
