Still swimming

We're in the thick of the winter swim season right now.  This is the first weekend we haven't had a swim event in several weeks.  However, it gets busy for the next two months, leading up to the Indiana state championship in mid-March.  Both kids are doing really well.  Spencer is peaking at the right time for his age group, 10-under boys.  Alot of his competition has turned 11 in the last couple of months so they are now competing in the 11-12 age group.  This has allowed Spencer to really excel against the rest of the boys in the state.

Syd is also performing well, ranking at the top of the 8-under girls group.  She's been swimming against other girls in the 10-under events and holding her own.

They just competed last weekend at the IU Natatorium in Indianapolis.  Syd had some great times, as did Spencer.  In fact, Spencer won the 50m AND 100m breaststroke events for the 10-under boys.  His coach was really pleased with his swims, commenting that he "had one of those career weekends."  Hopefully he can keep that momentum going into the next several weeks.

Here are a few of their swims from last weekend.
