On Saturday, Jack and Evie competed in the Country Championships held in Stanthorpe .... this carnival involves all the country clubs in our region ... we are so lucky that Goondiwindi has such a strong Swimming Club, thanks mainly to great coaches ... the whole team did really well, winning the overall points tally for another year ... Jack and Evie swam really well too ...
Evie competed in 4 x 50m events and swam 3 PBs .... she took 4 seconds off her butterfly and came 5th overall which was exciting ... she was happy with all of her swims and already looking forward to her next carnival.
Jack competed in 11 events ... he received 10 firsts and 1 second ... he also broke 4 records and was awarded 12 Year Old Boy Age Champion .... needless to say, he was happy with his efforts. I can't tell you how happy swimming makes both Jack and Evie ... they love training, they love competing and they particularly love all the friendships they make along the way ... such a great sport when they are young.
Yesterday was Day 12 for Miss Polly ...
I love to swaddle my newborns up nice and tight, they seem to love it and sleep for hours!
Today was Day 13, look at our little pudding, creases everywhere, obviously Polly is in a good paddock.
Thanks for stopping by, might have a layout to share soon.
Congratulations to Jack and Evie that's really great. I used to swim at school and loved it. Wasnt real keen on getting up at 5.30 in the middle of an Armidale winter, The heated pool was never warm enough lol. I was a bit sad that neither of my girls were interested in swimming as a sport.
