Charlie raced in his first All City Swim Meet this week in Monona. This is an immaculately run event, like probably the most organized and efficient event that I have EVER SEEN IN MY WHOLE LIFE. They manage to get 2,000 swimmers through races in 3 days. And the best part, everyone gets to participate--not just the elite swimmers. The weather was absolutely perfect.
Swimming has become Charlie's sport. He loves it so much. In fact, yesterday his dive lesson got canceled because of storms...guess who was so upset he was crying? I am excited that he is passionate about this. That being said, this fall we will "jump" (pun intended) into the world of Club Swimming. Let's be honest, Charlie isn't interested in any ball sports, so we might as well allow him one thing that he truly is passionate about.
And let's be honest...this is a lifelong sport. Fitness, fitness, fitness :) :)

| Charlie's breaststroke. If you watch very closely, he false starts and DQ's. It is literally like a quarter second. But, his time would have been 33.9 seconds and he had a fantastic start off the blocks. He would have come in 26th overall IF he wouldn't have DQ'd. |
