Long Course Swim Meet

Kammie had her first long course (Olympic size pool) swimming meet this past weekend held at UALR [University of Arkansas at Little Rock]. That pool was indeed long. 50 meters instead of 25. Kam was entered in 5 events Saturday afternoon.

Her first event was the 100 Breaststroke. This is not her best stroke (yet), but she did just fine.

Here is the splash on her dive in.

I had a great view and good timing on her dive, except for the fact that the divers for the next heat walked out just as I was snapping the picture. Urg!

This was her first really long event and we weren't sure how to pace it. We didn't want her to go out to fast/strong and get worn out by the end, so she kind of took it easy. Her coach said she could have swum faster, and we'll get the hang of it.

100 Breaststroke 2:06.58 17th of 35 swimmers.
50 Freestyle 36.81 6th of 52 swimmers. She earned 3 points for the team.
