Swim Meet Season Begins

We arrived back home Monday night, so that Abby was able to make it to swim practice Tuesday morning, ahead of her first meet on Wednesday. It was a pleasant day for it, and Abby was very focused for her swims. Here she is studying the heat sheet:

Intently checking her times and ranks at practice the next day:

She ended up 6th in fly (out of 18 swimmers) and 14th in free (out of 48 swimmers). Not bad, especially considering this is the first of her two years in this age bracket (so half of the kids are a year older than her and will move up a bracket in the fall).
