scenes from the swim meet...

As I mentioned earlier... we spent the whole day on Sunday at the kids' swim meet. Alex swam in the morning and Clara in the afternoon.

Here's Alex checking out the times on the board...
I have no good photos of Alex's starts. He started on the end you see behind him. I managed to miss the focus and have several crisp shots of the flags you see in the photo above, but none with Alex in focus... sigh.

Clara, on the other hand, swam 25's so she started at the other end of the pool. Due to there being very few people sitting on that end, I was able to get close and get some clear shots.

Here she is starting her backstroke...
and diving in for her leg of their freestyle relay...
Both kids had a great time and tried hard... however, we have a lot of work ahead of us with swim :-)
