Emily had a long course swim meet yesterday. That means that the pool length was 50 meters instead of 25 yards, and is considered an olympic size pool. It was a USS swim meet with judges all along the pool. It was a beautiful day, not too hot or cold. We had front row seats, thanks to my parents for getting there early, and could see just about everything.
Emily was swimming four events...three individual events and one relay. The events were 50 backstroke, 100 breaststroke, 50 freestyle (all three in the 10 and under age group) and the 400 medley relay (12 and under age group) Emily was placed pretty well in the individual races. In all of her races there were at least 75 kids per race, which broke down to about 8 heats or more. The fastest kids are in the last few heats. Emily was constantly in the second or third to last heat. She was ranked about 20th in one event, 16 in another and I can't remember the third but it was basically the same.
Emily didn't beat any personal bests necessarily, but I am proud of her for going out there and doing her best! Here are the videos of her events.
