Swim Champs

These are from Jace's swimming Championship meet this past July. At the end of the season, all the area swim leagues meet together at the UVA aquatics center. It was so fun to see all the swimmers there- lots of hype and excitement. Jace had a ball! Here he is with his BFF Addison...

Waiting with his 5/6 year old team...
Here they are probably discussing the water temperature and who they predict will take the 5/6 year old title...
Waiting...
More waiting...
Round 1: Freestlye! The first thing Jace noticed was that he was swimming in 14 FEET!!!!! This alone was a huge accomplishment for him- we all know it is much harder to swim in 14 feet than in, say, 8-9 feet. Good job, Jace!
Look at that perfect stroke!
And there he is- 34 seconds!
Heading over for Backstroke...

And they're off!
Note the arrow below- there is Jace, looking strong!
Again, note the arrow. They had the names all wrong, but Jace was in lane 5, finishing in 4th place in his heat (14th overall, which is great!).
So proud of our little guy!
