Our little swimmer!

Hi everyone. We hope your Thanksgiving was nice. Well, as everyone knows, Nico is on the South Milwaukee Swim team. He had 3 swim meets this year. So, we would like to brag a little.... His first meet was on 10/9 @ Riverside High school. He competed in 4 strokes.
- Backstroke: 30.74 & he took 3rd place.
- Freestyle: 25.7 & he took 5th place.
- Breaststroke: 43.72 & he took 4th place.
- The Relay: 1 minute & the team took 3rd. place!! Pretty good for his first time competing ever!

His second meet was a home meet on 10/23. He competed in 3 strokes.
- Backstroke: 26.7 & he took 4th place.
- Freestyle: 24.95 & he took 4th place.
- Breaststroke: 46.39 & he took 6th place. Not his best stroke.

His last meet for the year was on my birthday, 12/2. This meet was also a home meet. He competed in 3 strokes.
- Backstroke: 30.66 & took 3rd place. He is 9 seconds away from breaking the record!!
- Freestyle: 24.91 & he took 4th place.
- Butterfly stroke: 36.55. This was the first time he ever swam the butterfly stroke in competition before. He took 1st place!!!

It was the best birthday ever!! We are so proud of him. He has worked really hard to get to were he is now. The coaches have been working with him on his weak areas because they think he his a good swimmer. They hope, as we do, that he keeps going because this could turn out to be something awesome! O.K. I'm done bragging. Christmas is here & so is winter. We are crazy busy every weekend now until Christmas. That's the only thing that we hate about the christmas season. The consent GO,GO,GO. We would love to just sit back & relax a little but I guess that is what the day after christmas We hope everyone stays safe & happy thur the shopping season.
A lot of love to all of you.
