Swim Team leads to Youtube
So far the swimming season has been great!
I have only missed one week of practice and that was when i had foot surgery.
So far, I have been to every swim meet.
Here's the update on how I'm doing.
#1 Practice meet
- EVERY one had to swim a 50 of each stroke...no complaints.
- We swam against ourselves and it just gave the coaches of what are abilities are and what we need to work on.
- Wouldn't affect our ranking
50 Freestyle- 1st place with 34.27 seconds (stronger stoke, time could be better)
50 Butterfly- 2nd place with 44.23 seconds (weakest stroke, combined with 13/14 boys and ended up coming in 2nd still overall!)
50 Backstroke- 1st place with 42.00 seconds (strongest stroke, time could be better)
50 Breaststroke- 3rd place with 43+ seconds (very weak on this stroke, not sure on time, I know my time could be way better)
#2 B.R vs. R.O
- 1st real meet
- On flip turn during 50 free I swallowed water slowing me down, not common, and timers weren't accurate.
- Since 50 free was so close to IM and 100 free, I couldn't swim the two events because of trouble breathing.
- Won by 100 points
Medley relay- 2nd place with 2:29.87 (I started the group off good with backstroke, once again we combined heats with the 13/14 boys)
50 Freestyle- 4th place with 37.90 seconds (time could be a lot better)
100 IM- N/A
100 Free- N/A
Free Relay- 2nd place with 2:45.90 (combined with 13/14 boys, and I finished our group off)
#3 B.R vs E.C
- I had to make up for the two events that I didn't swim last week, coach was desperate to see me swim them.
- Coach was also seemed to avoid putting me in 50 backstroke.
- Meet ended right before our Free relay because of thunderstorm. Even though the other team forfeit, we won by far.
- Asthma attack in water during 3rd lap out of 4 in 100 Free, coach regrets putting me in two long events so close to each other.
Medley relay- 2nd place with the time of 2:39:85 (started the group off well with backstroke)
50 Free- 1st place with 32.75 seconds (good time and flip turn really helped me get ahead this time, didn't swallow water [: )
100 IM- 2nd place with a time of 1:31.62 (coach was proud, I hope to do IM again)
100 Free- N/A (did get a participation ribbon though [: )
Free relay- N/A (thunderstorm)
I will keep posting up my scores and times. Hopefully, the coach will put me in 50 backstroke :)
This weeks swim meet, I heard, that it was gonna be tough.
Wish me luck!
Oh ya!
I have a good friend, Justin, whose a year older than me but he has a youtube account where him and his friends make very entertaining videos.
They make parodies to songs and then make music videos to them. (Well, most of their videos)
But, I was talking to him and his friend how Kelly and I have a youtube account.
So, after a while of conversation about who has the best videos, he challenged Kelly and I to a face off against their latest video, Joe a parody to Low.
Kelly and I are still in progress of finishing our first face off video against them.
Of coarse, we will win :)
