Carter's First Swim Meet by Carter
On Sunday, we woke up early and drove about 1 1/2 hours to Santa Cruz for a 25m Swim Meet. There were 7 or 8 teams competing. I was excited to race. My first race was the 25m butterfly, and I got a second place medal! In my 25m breaststroke I got no medal. In my 100m IM which is butterfly, backstroke, breaststroke and freestyle I got first place. And in my backstroke I got first place too! In my front crawl I got first and in another race third. It was very sunny and hot and I got a bit of a sunburn. My mom and sisters came to cheer me on and they did not even get to cool off in the pool (too bad!) My dad is one of the swim coaches, he makes us work very hard (hee hee). I'd like to do another one but the same not any different because my next one is in a 50m pool, uh oh!

Great work Carter! What size of a pool do you swim in to learn all of your new strokes? Is it indoors or outdoors? How many other kids are on your swim team? What other activities and team sports are you doing these days? How is school and life in Coasta Rica? Ashlynn misses you and hopes to see you sometime in the summer.
