Hahaha. Sounds good. Keep injecting it in them Max. Also, cannot downplay the importance of seeing world class swimmers at that age. Something you guys will always have over us in terms of access.
Our guys getting ready to leave for Venezuela on Sunday. Look out for results from the middle of next week.
EZ.
That was the 1st in a long time, hopefully not the last...to tell the truth, they was bored...lilman say "one day when you pay to see me swim, he hope Phelps still around"
Well to much stories to type, Lilman get licks 1st thing father's day and all...he mouth again - talkin inappropiately and lieing, then I get buff from Mammy same speed..any straight to the results..
the boys both swam 9-10, against each other this year, Lilman repeating 9-10 and the Angel moving up 11-12. nb ()=(top 50 Canada rank in all 9-10s')
Amongst 10 yr olds, lilman ranked #1 in Canada in 4 events(50Fly(41),100Fly(),50Bk(8,100IM(14)),#2 in 1(200Fr(30)),#3 in 2(200Bk(37),200IM(26)), #5 in 50Fr(41), #15 in 200Br(NR),#45 in 50 Br(NR).
Angel - 50Fr(13),200Fr(34),50BK(11),200Bk(34),50Br(NR), 200Br(NR),50Fl(28),100IM(9),200IM(NR).
So they kinda alternated beating each other. though lil man couldn't ketch the Angel in 50Fr - 31.92 & 33.34
an Angel couldn't ketch him in 50Fl - 35.26 & 37.89
equal in 50Bk - Lil-37.23 & An-37.52
every meet a switch in 100 IM, who swim last win - Lil-1:23:88 & An- 1:21:94
Brought home 7 Golds & 1 Silver in regionals. (2 events each(An-50Fr & back - golds; lil - 50 fl (g) & 100 Im(Sl) + both on the relay teams).
Summer swim start Wednesday, and the Angel getting a big kick how the swim team for that is only 45 minutes, compared to the 1 1/2 hr they was doing for winter swim..they went the first day yesterday, and doh he had a blocked nose(cold), he say "45 minutes is like a hiccup".
In addition MzTing(only likes free) made her Provincial 2 desigination and got promoted to that meet early next month. Competing in 50,200,400,800 & 1500 Free, 50 BK and 2 more events. Will post times and rankings after then.
So a great season all around. They have all come a long way, and it's a pleasure to see not that they hold up under the amount of work they do, but except for MzTing a few times, look forward to it. Big thanks to the coaches and club, for the time, and allowing them to miss sometimes, as some days they were very tired with school, and sickness etc...ps: swine flu pass through the pool too...lilman did regional semis with a fever, made finals and was pissed he didn't beat his times.....I know, I myself never train 1/4 as much in meh life like dat..and the coaches, wow, Swima, allyuh have to be ah different kinda beast to be there and manage so many kids, and give them such a pleasant outlook....However, from what I saw of the Point-Claire coaches(not all), I know my kids would have given up a long time, and they do lose some, but the best ones usually stick with them...we are happy we are at this Club, where the atmoshpere is so much more relaxed and fun, and so are the kids...We are all anxious to see what next year brings, and on a personal note, I hope there are many years to follow...if only I could talk bout something other than swimming now, if yuh see who ppl does be ducking meh, Mammy say to plenty ppl, 50 free does b how much ppl at work trying to get away from me....I'n even play football in 6 mths, nevr happened in this lifetime, and that includes time with 2 operated knees and living in this cold place....but Summer's here, so all fete-matches & beer locations, heads-up.
add: As of Last Weekend and above post, they have been bumped 1 place down in PQ & Can. There is another brother tandem in Quebec city, same ages (11 & 10), Year after next, if God spare life and keep them going will be even more fun. There are other sibling swimmers, but they don't compete at the same age groups as these boys i.e. all together.
