Midge had a swim meet last night. She did a great job. Here Ken is cheering her on and coaching from the sideline. Notice that she has already lapped the boy in the lane next to her.
Here is Midge's #1 fan. The other night Ken took Huck to one of her practices. Huck was watching her swim laps. He laid down on the cement next to the pool on his stomach and started kicking and paddling his arms like his older sister. Looks like we have another future swimmer in the family.
Here is Midge waiting for the signal to start. She had some amazing starts.
We brought along a family friend. He was so funny and kept encouraging her and giving "good" advice. One of his tips when she was swimming against a boy was "when the coach says go, yell 'hey call me' he will be surprised and then you take off and beat him". Another time he said "feel the water, be the water, float with the currents around you".
The cheering squad.
In the end she had 7 first place finishes. Way to go kiddo!

Way to go, Midge!! It makes me so happy to see the next generation enjoy the sport. :) And that pool brings back memories... That's awesome that she had a PR in every event AND broke the 2 minute mark in the 100 free.
