Swim Season is Here

Friday night was the start of Troy & Jason's swim season. The boys did such a good job. Their times were almost as good or better than where they finished off last year. CIF is looking really good for them this year! David was very bummed to realize he missed their first two meets since he was at varsity training. Maybe he should have stayed home:(

(See earlier post)Saturday morning there was a freestyle meet at Helix. They did pretty good, but freestyle isn't their strong strokes, and they were really worn out from the meet the night before. I didn't get zoomed in, but Troy's mid picture on the diving block.
I did get zoomed in for Jason. He's the scrawny looking boy right in front:)
Here's their relay team. They got 4th place.

Troy and "Asian Man" on the left are in the doghouse with coach. During their 200m (8 laps)event, Troy and his teammate were swimming in adjacent lanes. They thought it would be fun to switch lanes during the race. The rules for club swim are you must end in the lane you start in, no touching each other, and no touching the bottom. As soon as the whistle blew, they dove in and switched lanes (not a great idea to do RIGHT in front of the ref). Everyone was cracking up and intently watching to see what they were going to do. They switched back at the turn of the last lap. They felt pretty safe doing it since this particular meet didn't really matter for their season. The ref went up to them and told them that wasn't allowed in high school swim. They were dq'd and he walked away laughing. Only coach wasn't amused. Hopefully he'll be a little happier by the time Monday practice comes. And hopefully Troy and Andrew learned their lesson, and got their rebellion out of their system.
