As most of you know Mercedez has been doing winter swim team, it is the first time we have tried this, and we are very pleased with her progress. She has been swimming with three of her good friends since last fall, the mom's all come and so it end's up being a great mom/daughter time. It has been nice to sit and chat, and it has also been fun timing at the heats. I have made great new friends and have been able to spend time with my daughter. I really had thought that her last meet was this past Sunday (7th), she had a great meet, but didn't make the AA time requirements by 1/100th. Very sad, but ok! Next thing I know she along with one friend made AA time for the 100 free relay. She was very excited, I think all the girls were. So today we went and she competed in her relay. Their team came in 19th place, they aren't happy, but I am very proud of her, she doesn't understand that in the time you blink your eyes, her team could have taken 18th (the cut off for a metal). I videoed her heat, which they came in 4th. When you watch the video, her team is in lane 2, 2nd from the top of your screen. Mercedez is the anchor, the last swimmer for her team. Enjoy! The first video is of her warm up! The second is of her heat!
OK, SO I HAVE TRIED TO UPLOAD THE VIDEOS, BUT IT WON'T WORK, SO NOW I WILL JUST PUT THE TWO PICTURES I HAVE OF HER AND HER FRIEND ZOE, THE GUY IN THE BLACK IS HER COACH (NICK) IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO SEE THE VIDEO'S TRY MY FACEBOOK PAGE, I WILL TRY TO UPLOAD THERE.
