Masters Swim Meet
Tandy went to her first swim meet since high school. It was held at the 25yd pool at the Alfond Youth Center in Waterville, Maine. She had a great time, placing 1st twice and 2nd once for her age group (women 35-39). She has been participating in the Masters Swim program for several years. It is helped her with conditioning for the triathlons she has participated in.
The events she participated in this time were the backstroke at 25yds (18.00), 50yds (40.60) and 100yds (1:28.50). I know little about swimming, but the conversation between Tandy and David seemed to indicate that there was some time being lost in the turns.
Even though we spent nearly five hours at the meet, the girls were really great. They colored, ate snacks and played with Polly Pockets. My oldest still rates the swim meet as "really boring." A fair assessment if you aren't particularly into swimming.

Yeah, it's like pulling teeth to try to get my family out to my masters swim meets these days. My mom is really into it but my dad hates the loud whistling the coaches like to do and my wife and kid get bored after a couple of hours. Oh well. It's exciting for me!
