Swimming, Swimming, and more Swimming


This weekend Marshall got to swim in an invitational meet with 98 teams. The teams span as far as College Station and Brenham. Each morning he competed in different strokes against about 70 kids to see who would swim in the finals that night. And I am pleased to say that he finaled in everything he swam. It was exciting and exhausting and long. 

Above is a little swim lesson for those of you who don't know strokes. 1st picture is called butterfly. 2nd backstroke. 3rd breaststroke. 4th freestyle. The IM (individual medley) consists of all 4 stokes in the order above.

He medaled in all five events. The last picture is the awards ceremony and yes that is Marshall in the polar bear pajama bottoms and cowboy hat. What can I say. Marshall is Marshall.
