After our early morning swim we headed to the back deck to do some stretching. Minor problem occurred when Brady disappeared again only to cause great stress for Ethan. Now I’ll have you know that the rumor going around was that Brady was still in the pool warming up with Fish because of a certain girl. We quickly put that rumor to rest after locating Brady.

This mornings session began under a cloudless
sky and bright sunshine over the pools and would last throughout the morning. All the swimmers would need to be extra vigilant in keeping their bodies hydrated throughout the morning. Another element that they would be battling was swimming some longer events in the heat. As our DJ would say a lot was that you really had to take ownership of something, get comfortable and let the good times roll. He stated how it was easy to take ownership of a doughnut and ice cream and become very comfortable. I rally had a good laugh with that analogy, but how true it is if you really think about it.
One of the best events in this mornings session was the 100 free with most of our Mako swimmers posting personal best on the scoreboard. Skylar had an incredible swim taking the lead off the start and never looking back and finishing under a minute for the first time. Another standout was Adrian Coray who would finish with a 55 and now understands how this event needs to be approached. One of the more gutsiest swim of the morning was turned in by Emerson in the 200 breast. After getting
out pretty well on the first leg she would go into her third turn and get an arm cramp but she powered through it and split the next 2two 50’s with 39’s but finished right out of finals in 11th place.
Chaz swimming one of his best free stroke wise wound up dropping over 2 seconds in the event just missing the 59. Ben had a great 100 IM this morning posting a 1 second drop on the scoreboard.
The 13-14 girls would have two relays swimming at the end of the session and fighting both fatigue
and the heat turned in some great legs in the 200 free relay.
Coming back to finals this evening are both the 10 and under and 11-12 year old 200 free relays with Sadie, Emily, Reese, Mary Claire and Chaz, Blake, Ben, and Adrian respectively. Makos having individual events are Blake (100 IM 100 fly, 200 breast), Sadie (100 back), Katherine (100 back 100
free), Kendall (100 fly) .
WHY NOT ME!
