Easton decided that he wanted to do swim team, because his brothers are swimmers. He tried out for the Hilltop Aquatics Swim TEam in American Fork. Jensen teased him and told him it was a race. Not funny! He swam so hard and tried to swim so fast that he threw up on the side of the pool. He didn't make HAST because there were so many that tried out, but did make "The Flying Fish" swim team that practices at our neighbors pool. He loves it and has improved so much this year so far.
At the meet, Easton's coach McKay King drew a fish on his shoulder. I said "Easton don't you know that your body is a temple and we shouldn't write on it." He told me he had told Mckay that but that he said "I need to see which swimmer you are." Easton really thought it was sooo cool.
His first event was the 25 backstroke. He did really great but was DQ'd because of something illegal he did in his stroke. He really loved it, and we didn't tell him he was disqualified.
His next event was the 50 freestyle. Before the race he told Gege "I am going to win this race." This picture was right before his 50 free race.
He dove in great. He wasn't even nervous. However, he had been working with his coaches to dive with his feet together. Here, he looks pretty good but.......
.....here at entry his feel are totally apart. On the right side, its hard to see his foot because its at the same angle as the ladies leg that is sitting there.
This is the 50 free, so down and back the length of the pool.
He said he was going to win, and he did. He beat all of the other 7 and 8 year olds in the 50 free. He could see that he was close to another swimmer at the end and he just swam really hard.
He was in lane #1. This picture was taken before the other swimmers were even finished. Way to go E!! He also competed in the 25 free at the end of the meet and his time was 35.40.

Go Easton! That's so awesome! I wouldn't have told him about the DQ either - those are devastating! Especially your first one. Does he like it enough to stick with it? He looks great!
