Chase's 1st Swim Meet

We signed Chase up for the Indian Hills Swim Team about a month ago and last night he had his first swim meet against Norco. He is really enjoying being on the swim team. He swims the freestyle and the backstroke. He is still the only one his age on the team that can start with a dive (thanks grandma Lauritzen). He mostly loves to swim underwater and can hold his breath for a surprisingly long time. Infact, during practice he will dive in and then swim to the bottom of the 7ft pool before resurfacing to start his lap. At first this would scare the lifeguard and coach, but then they got used to it. We had to tell him that it would probably be more effective to dive out far and stay on the surface for his race. He did so well yesterday. His little arms and legs were going as fast as they could. When the meet was over he wanted to know where he should go to pick up his trophy... I told him he has to wait until the end of the swim season to get his trophy. And yes, I will buy him one if I have to. :)

Warm ups!
