Sophie's first swim meet

So we had a first this weekend. Sophie swam two events in a multi-school swim meet.There were three international schools from Switzerland and one from Luxembourg. It was held at a local pool that had timer pads at the ends of the lanes. The kind where the swimmers swim up to the end and touch the pad and a automatic timer records the time and almost immediately posts the time and place finish for all to see. Very professional and fun. Especially when your daughter finished first! (Come to find out later she was first in her heat-the first of 3! She ended up with an impressive 4th.) I will say that swim meets are longggg! We were there from 8:30am until 3:00pm. Of that 6 1/2 hours she swam for approximately 45 seconds! (See the posted video...think it's long- be glad Jon didn't film the whole swim meet!!) She had fun although she did say that she loves swimming just not racing. I am not sure she has the killer instinct. I just love that she loves to swim.
