EauDeChlorine

This fall marked the very FIRST anniversary of Gavin's competitive swim 'career'.
 
I wish I was was joking when I said it has taken over our lives.
 
Even Syd and Aj spend more time at the pool than home with their toys.
 
HOWEVER,
 
2-hours or workouts, 5 days/week, meets twice a month and endless washes of towels, hundreds of dollars spent of suits and goggles, an unrelentless chemical stench, and a pantry-that-can't-stay-stocked to satisfy that boy has led us to a very important number...
 
42.69.
 
That, my friends, is a qualifying time in the 50 backstroke to compete in the Utah Junior Olympics.
 

And that is the proud face attached to that time.
 
So proud of you, Gavin!!
 
Now, go swim.
