Meets time

We are finally into our meets. the first one was yesterday, 10,29,09, at sand hallow against Snow canyon, dixie, pineview, and hurricane. Since i am hurt and still not better i was put in events that seemed to not hurt as bad when i swam so i was placed into the 100 butterfly and 100 breaststroke hahahah i dont swim either of them so i was ready to see how i went. I took 2nd in the fly :) there was only 8 swimmers ha but i thought i did pretty good. i was only 4 seconds away from the girl in 1st place. i went a 1:12 and i wasnt even using my legs the second half cuz my quads hurt so i backed off. I will swim the 100 fly again on saturday and so we will see how that goes. I am definately not a breaststroker. i went a 1.33 ha but it hurt so bad. i took 2nd to last :) out of 14 girls haha arent i just amazing? but my team i believe wont the meet. well....the girls anyway! ha but now friday and saturday are up in cedar for the cedar invite, i dont like the pool but we will see how it goes. i am excited. i am swimming the 200 freestyle on friday and 100 fly on saturday. ill let you know how it goes. :D

practice time!

wow! ha 5a.m. practices started today. I am going to die....it will take awhile to get used to early morning, my alarm clock goes off at 4.22 so i can get ready by the time to go ahhhh! but... i know i can do it. whoo!!! :)

SWIM

SWIM HAS OFFICIALLY STARTED! first day of tryouts were yesterday ha not even hard at all. there isn't as many people as there was last year ha that's okay with me! ;) on Monday the 28Th practices start to be held at 5 a.m. ha wow yeah that's early but I'm excited ha i have to wake up at like 4:20 in order to get ready, eat, and get to practice before they start stretching ha its insane! around 2 weeks after the season starts varsity practices start. i will be on varsity again. and then we practice after school as well as in the morning! i am very excited for the season to begin. i miss all of the old seniors but this year i am the senior and get to take charge ha YAYAY :) ha maybe...i could be captain if the other one that i am not so impressed with gets kicked off because they aren't doing what they are suppose too...ill let ya know!

FUNNY

K so i encountered a funny story and thought you would like to hear it! i got a kick out of it and so did my dad! There is this guy in my college math class and we always park next to each other. (well he parks next to me) ha class was over so we were all leaving and that day i had been wearing a cute yellow shirt that is a little lower in the back so my tan lines show, and they are definite. you cant miss em! the guy was behind me and asked if i had gone swimming the day before. i replied saying "no, why?" ha he mentioned my tan lines! o ha duhh! i told him that i was a swimmer and so I'm always in a suit and get major tan lines ha he asked me "COOL. SO DO YOU SWIM INSIDE OR OUTSIDE??" k really? those fluorescent lights inside give a tan. they are just so full of ultraviolet rays that shine down on me! ha but...me being the slow child i am just told him i swim outside during the summer and inside during the winter! i then realized what he asked after i was in my truck and leaving the parking lot. i got home and told my dad and he got laughing. it was a great day! ;)

High School Swim

So high school swim is finally on its way! I cant wait :) tryouts are September 21-24 after school. Im excited to see how many people come out and try and who will all make it. its sad to see people not make the cuts! I have a friend who used to swim and doesnt anymore but wants to try out. it will be very good for her and id love to be with her swimming but its just funny. she is freaking out afraid she wont make it. The thing i like about swimming is that your not cut by time. its how dedicated you are! so some fast people could be cut if they dont really care and dont put out the effort. I think that is good because it gives others a chance to swim and really show what they are made of and drop some time. this year will be a blast even tho i am not a captain! that is a touchy subject.... anyway ha ill let you know how it all goes once it gets started :)

swim

i swim alot! during high school swim season if i am not at school then i am at swim practice! i love it so much! it is for sure hard and i work my butt (or pockets which ever you prefer) off. i am lucky that i have family come and support me when i go out and have meets. friends sometimes come too! i have met so many new people and made other relationships stronger. many memories were created and smiles were beaming even tho it was 5 am. everyone on high school swim team would practice from 5 am to 6.45 am every morning before school. monday thru friday! then if on varsity (which i was) we had practice also on tues and thursday from 4pm to 6pm after school. we would also have dry land (conditioning) on wednesday and saturday for an hour. those were not manditory but the rest was! we had meets close to every weekend after the season got going. the season is very long, tryouts are at the end of september and state is in the beginning of february! if you cant tell yet...i absolutely love swimming. it is my life! i "l.o.v.e this"

summer swim

This summer i was on the Southern Utah Swim Association club team. also known as SUSA! i have swam on that club team for many years. i think i am coming up on my 6Th year! i enjoy it very much and have a wonderful coach that is very good at what she does. this summer was fun like all the others. it went by so fast. we would practice every morning Monday thru Friday from 7-9 a.m. it was very hard to get out of bed but i did it. i only missed like 5 practices all together! i went to some swim meets out of town and they were so much fun despite the weather issues we had while there. there was a thunder storm. we had to go inside and delay the meet for about an hour to an hour and a half. we were tired and wanted to go home. i had been there all day and it was around 10 p.m. when we finally got to go! good memories tho! :) i have many swim friends so it makes it that much better. gotta love it!
