I don&#8217;t have the videos done yet, but &#8211; here&#8217;s her times:<\/p>\n<p><strong>The 200yd Freestyle Relay<\/strong><br \/>\nThe girls KILLED their time &#8211;<br \/>\nPrevious 4:52.54<br \/>\nYesterday: 4:13.08<br \/>\n-39.46<\/p>\n<p>Unfortunately, the pup was a little bit antsy and jumped the gun, not quite waiting until her teammate touched the wall before she started her anchor leg. They were DQ&#8217;d. <\/p>\n<p><strong>50 yd Backstroke<\/strong><br \/>\nPrevious time: 1:06.93<br \/>\nYesterday: 1:04.04!<br \/>\n-3.29<\/p>\n<p>Added bonus? Her goal is to beat her cousins &#8211; while we aren&#8217;t sure she&#8217;ll ever catch the Bug (we think he may have gotten his Junior Olympic qualifying time yesterday in one event!), she DID beat D-man&#8217;s backstroke by over 10 seconds! Happy Pup! even though we told her she COULD NOT BRAG about it. *L*<\/p>\n<p><strong>50yd Freestyle<\/strong><br \/>\nWe DID have the wrong time at the previous meet &#8211; which I was pretty sure we did, though I bragged about it anyway. *L*<br \/>\nPrevious (official!) time: 1:10.21<br \/>\nYesterday: 1:04.51<br \/>\n-5.30<\/p>\n<p>Slow but steady she&#8217;s taking off the seconds! Clearly her breathing was MUCH better this meet&#8230; and now, for the BIG WOW!<\/p>\n<p><strong>50yd Breaststroke<\/strong><br \/>\nPrevious time: 2:01.37<br \/>\nYesterday 1:29.93!!!!!<br \/>\n-31.04<\/p>\n<p>Now, to be honest, she SHOULD have been DQ&#8217;d &#8211; she flutter-kicked once, and she also did a half stroke once, but she was CRUISING! (the official gave her a break -THIS time&#8230;) She&#8217;s got the stroke down now, and was determined to SWIM FAST. If she puts her head down more like she had before and lengthens the stroke just a little it, she&#8217;ll have it made!<\/p>\n<p>Overall &#8211; a HIGHLY successful meet. Looks like I&#8217;ll be drawing those piranha&#8217;s on her back for a long time to come! <\/p>\n<p>PS &#8211; Special congrats to my sister, Auntie Ladybug! She beat her HIGH SCHOOL TIME in the 100yd Freestyle by THREE SECONDS yesterday!
