Wyatt's First Dynamite Dolfins Swim Meet

The swim meet consisted of three different strokes, the freestyle, backstroke and butterfly. I'm pretty sure the coach had the kids lined up so that they would be swimming against others that were pretty fairly matched. It was so fun to watch. Most kids just jumped off the starting block, some tried to dive. There were coaches in each lane to encourage and help kids to the other side. At the other end, were swimmers from the swim team, ready with ribbons in their hands to reward first, second and third places. After the swimmers were done, they had a little award ceremony to show off their ribbons and then a pizza/cupcake party! Way to build excitement for the real-deal next year! Wyatt had a blast, and Matthew was more proud than ever!

Standing in line, waiting for his heat. Yes, he's the only one in a speedo...I can't get him to wear anything else! He is so proud to wear that water polo suit!!!

A little pep-talk with Papa. On the way over there, Wyatt told me he was scared of racing because he was worried he wouldn't come in first! Matthew talked him down from his nerves!!!

Ready to jump in for the freestyle!

Making his way! The other two girls in his heat were really fast! Wyatt got third!

The Backstroke

He looks pretty good right here, but he ends up almost side-ways at one point!!!

Proud Papa watching his boy! Wyatt got second this time!

The dive for the Butterfly heat.

I couldn't seem to catch him above water...but he's doing it!!!

Here's how Annabelle spent her time...she could really swim if I could get her off the stairs!!!

He won first place in the butterfly!!!

The "awards ceremony", where each child showed off which ribbons they earned!
