Kestrel joined the Pre-swim Team this summer. Meets are optional, and at first she wasn't interested in attending them. The last few weeks she's been hearing the other kids talk about the meets and she decided she wanted to go. So, earlier this week she came home saying she told her coach she would be at the meet Saturday, then told me we had to be in Charleston (an hour drive) at 7:15 am!! We woke up at 5:30 Saturday morning to make it to the meet on time. Kestrel swam in 4 events: The medley relay, 25 freestyle, 25 backstroke, and freestyle relay. I was so proud of her, and every time she came out of the water she said it was really fun. This was my first time attending a meet as well, and I never realized how long they were. The waiting was tough at times, but it was worth it.
Kestrel lost a tooth while waiting for one of her events. She thought that made the meet extra exciting.
Kestrel is waiting for her turn during the relay.
