SJ had two swim meets last week. He had his last home meet on Monday. He swam in three heats at that meet. The first heat that he was in was freestyle. He did well for him. He finished with a time of 54 seconds. He was very disappointed with his performance, since he came in last. I thought he was going to throw a fit, but he was calmed down by some fruit snacks.
His second heat was the breast stroke. This is his favorite stroke. His time was 1:05. He again finished last. He wasn't as mad as he was when he finished last in the freestyle. He wanted a snack. They didn't have anything that he could eat at the concession stand, so he opted for his dry cereal that I had packed.
His last race was the butterfly. He did pretty well in his heat. He didn't finish last and his finishing time was 1:04. He was happy with how he swam in his second hardest stroke. He had a great meet and we were very proud of him.
On Wednesday, he had his second meet of the week. It was an away meet. He was also only swimming in freestyle, breast stroke and butterfly. It was a very cloudy night and they were calling for thunderstorms. I was hoping they would get the whole meet in.
His first heat was the freestyle. He finished again at 54 seconds. He didn't come in last, so he was relieved at the end. He brought his 3DS to the meet, so he kept himself busy playing that in between races.
His second race was the breast stroke. He didn't do as well as he did on Monday night. He finished at 1:10. At least he didn't finish last. He finished fourth, so he was happy.
He was scheduled to race in the butterfly. Unfortunately, there was a bolt of lightning. The meet was called, so SJ wasn't able to swim. He seemed very disappointed that he didn't get to swim. I was surprised, since he doesn't really like the butterfly. He saw his coach in the parking lot and he praised him for doing well. That was very nice to hear. He is doing so much better than I thought he would be doing. This was an unexpected surprise!
