First Swim Meet {Phantoms}

Abigail joined the swim team at our local YMCA this year after encouragement from Livi's swim teacher.  They have a large group of 8 and unders and its a mixed bag of skills!  The goal really is to beat your previous time and become a better swimmer.  Her first meet was Saturday about 30 minutes from home.  We arrived and were ushered into the auxiliary gym to wait for her events.  Glad we listened to the pros and brought our chairs, snacks and blanket to sit on.


 
We played cards, we ate munchies, the girls played in the play area and finally, event #55 - yes, #55, rolled around, which was Abigail's first event.  She did the 50 freestyle, then the 25 breast and ended the night day with a freestyle relay as the very.last.event.

SEVEN hours later, we were on the road to home, exhausted but happy! 

After getting over her nerves, she did an awesome job!  Let me just say there is no where to go but UP from here ;)  How cute those little ones are and what a long nice day we had...we are very proud of Abigail!
