Swimming in July




Summer is always busy because of swim team and water polo. Tyler starts swim team in the middle of May. There are meets every Monday in June and then the championship meet is held before July 4th. Water polo starts in June and we ended with the tournament this week. It was an all day event. The 14 and under boys don't have enough boys so the 12 and under boys join in with this team and also play in their age division. We played the older division in the morning on Thursday and came back for the 12 year old division at 5:00. The games are about 45 minutes long and they play hard swimming with their heads out of the water, no goggles and moving that ball around to score goals much like soccer in the water. Tyler is a pretty good ball handler and scored many goals throughout the season.
For swim team, he swims freestyle, butterfly, breastroke and is usually on the Medley relay team. He improved as season continued and swam in the breastroke and the Medley relay for the Championship. Their relay placed first. It's been another fun swim season.
