Swim Meet in Charlottesville

My mom, Catherine, and I are in Virginia visiting family. Last night we got to go to a swim meet and see Michael, Rachael, and Clare swim. They all did great! I was very impressed that they use a long-course pool for summer league swimming.
Here's Michael getting ready to swim the breastroke leg of the medley relay.
Rachael on the side of the pool watching relays (it was so nice not to be roped off from the side of the pool like I am used to)
Clare getting ready for the 25 free

Rachael swimming butterfly (for the 25's, the kids swam to a rope in the middle of the pool)

The thing that struck me the most was how laid back and happy all the kids were. It was a far cry from the meets I am used to going to. It was what summer swimming should be . . . fun.
