" Eat My Bubbles"

Summer 4 x 25 Relay Team for 6 and under category

My little fish, AKA Flipper,  has been taking swimming lesson since she has been 2 years old. She loves the water and always has every since she was 6 months old and spent the summer with her Godmother Kelly and spent lots of time within her pool.

This summer she joined a local swim team. She loved it from her first race in breaststroke and she won her heat. She was hooked and I am sunburn. We spent the last 8 weeks every Wednesday nights swimming in tournament for.  She did very well  and even qualified for finals in the 25 yard freestyle and in the 100 4 x 25 relay.

Even though we had a little issue during the tournament, with my little fish telling a fellow competitor that she beat her and her parent being angry about it. Well, first she did not tell a lie she did beat her. Two, the girls totally forgot about it and was playing together 3 minutes later and thirdly her coach corrected her about it.  This parent was so upset that they complained to officials of the swim meet, who in-turn made a decision to disqualify (DQ) her from her 25 yard freestyle final that she qualified for.  I personally feel that there was more to why the parent complained, but this was an  lesson for my Ms. Eat My Bubbles.

I do want to say how proud I am of my little fish. As this was the first summer for her to swim on a team in this fashion as well as qualifying in two events in a tournament, we are overjoyed with your wins to get into the finals. Her relay team came into 5th place in their division.

I hope that no one or no one event stifles you as a swimmer athlete. Keep swimming. Keep enjoying it and we will keep "Eating Your Bubbles."
