After spending the past few afternoons at work at the pool, and then at swim meets, I am now convinced of one thing- there is nothing more entertaining than watching little kids swim, especially when they’re racing. They’re just so determined to go fast! So they dive off the block and speed for about 20 seconds, only to get tired, and poop out. Then it’s a race of the turtles to the end. The idea of pacing themselves is foreign. And butterfly is even better. Imagine it: 8 lands full of 7 year olds, flapping their arms in no recognizable way whatsoever. You would think they were drowning, except for the fact that they’re inching their way to the other side into the waiting arms of the timers and parents at the meet. Trust me, its quite the sight to see….and I get to see it again tomorrow night at another swim meet. My little brother is swimming in it. The way he’s been talking about his events and times, you would think he was in the Olympics. Oh well, he’s just getting excited and competitive….hmmm….I wonder who that sounds like?
