Swim conference

some of his teammates.
Some of his teammates.
This girl's name is Emily. She is 14 years old and a freshman in high school. All year she has been chasing Nicolas around. SHE!! has a crush on Nicolas!!!!!! She thinks he is sooooo cute and a great swimmer. Yeah, we already knew that. These two were pretty funny to watch. A lot of his male teammates were jealous of this. Oh well1 What can we say accept he is a ladies man. I'm not sure I'm ready for this, yet.

These kids swam a 200 yd. Medley Relay.
seed time: 3:43.01
final time: 3:33.99
They took 1st place!!!:) This was the most exciting race we've ever seen. These kids were awesome! All of us were so proud of them, and they were proud of themselves, too.





Nicolas had his swim conference this past Saturday. He did amazing!!! He beat almost all of his times. We swam against 4 other teams. what happens is that they will take your overall best time in the strokes you will be swimming. Whoever as the best time wins. If you win first or second, you got a medal. The rest got ribbons. Here are his times.

50 yd. Butterfly,
seed time: 1:00.72
final time: 55.17
came in 1st place but overall took 5th place.

50 yd. Freestyle
seed time: 49.92
final time:43.87
came in 2 place, but overall took 7th place. This race he swam against 11&12 year olds!

50 yd. Backstroke
seed time: 51.00
final time:54.00
he took 9th place.

This year was a blast. Now swim is done until September. So, we have to find something else for him to do. The 3 of us will surely miss it though!
We hope you enjoy the pictures and the stories. Hope all is well with you and your family. Lots of love to all of you. Take care:)

Sharks vs Riverside high



We had another swim meet. This time we went up against Riverside high school. He did really good. Here are the strokes and scores.

50 yd. Backstroke 53.62 He took 3rd place:)

50 yd. Butterfly 1:00.72 He took 3rd place:)

That night was a very long night. He also swam 2 relays but the other teams did better, so no ribbons for them.:( Okay, that's all for now. Lots of love to all of you.

Rawson Spring Concert



Earlier this month, Nico had his school spring concert. He did great!:) He has been practicing at home for months now. We were getting sick of these songs. Each class sang 4 songs. The theme this was "Going places".
Well, that's all for now. Take care everyone:)
