Here's Houghton swimming today. He swam the 50 yard backstroke, 50Y Butterfly and 100Y freestyle. He dropped time in all events and improves with every meet. He and I are having such fun. It is really giving him a sense that this is also a "team sport" He is the youngest and has a lot of kids to look up to. He is also learning to fend for himself during the meet. Only swimmers and coaches are allowed down on the deck. He has to be responsible for all of his stuff. It does make me nervous but so far so good. (nothing lost or broken-yet)
It is really cold...about 2 degrees at 4pm. Houghton is taking it well. It's not so bad for me as long as the wind doesn't blow. And that does not happen in Chicago!
It is nice as well that he gets to swim in the afternoon session. Usually we have to be up with the sun. This time around we don't have to be at the pool until 11:45am!!
(in the top Pic he's in the top lane and bottom lane in the bottom pic --he wears the white cap)
