Tsunami Swim Club - Guam - Time Trials

Michael has only been swimming with the Swim Club for a couple months, since soccer finished, and he is really just doing it for the exercise between soccer seasons.   (that translates to, I make him go and he complains every time)

But.......like anything athletic, Michael is a natural in the water as well as the soccer field.  So after only two months swimming, he was asked to come to the time trial to check his speed in the water.  To see if he is close to a competitive speed. 

I am so very proud of him!  He really didn't even want go, but once we got there, he got in the water and swam with everyone else.

He has never gone off a starting block before, but again, he just got up there and tried it.  It wasn't pretty, but not bad for a first time the coach said.
                               









I think the swim coaches are still hopeful that Michael will love swimming.  He has potential with those long legs and arms.  We will see how that works out since soccer starts again in only two weeks! 




So proud of you Michael!  
I love you!
