School

It's school time now and writing this blog is your new 5th grade Splash! Hey guys! I started school about a week ago and now I am a 5th grader!! Anyway today we dissected owl pellets! It was totally awesome and a little gross. I found a skull though! I think it was a shrew's skull. On Thursday we are putting the skeletons back together so I will post a blog and tell you how that goes! Tonight is registration night for my swim team and my dad is president of the board so I'm going even though I'm already on the team for this year. I am so excited to go back to my pool and see my friend Noah who will also be there. I also want to see the new people on the team! Today has been an exciting day! Anyway on Thursday I will tell you how the skeleton thing goes. Thanks all of you who are reading. I really appreciate it. You guys are the best. Read in again soon! TTYL

Olympics!!

Hi its your bored-to-death swimmer! The reason I have not been blogging about swimming is because our team is taking a break. :( Anyway the olympics were awesome! I just loved it! Michael Phelps won the gold in the 100 fly... BY ONE ONE HUNDREDTH! He won gold in every event! He broke Mark Spitts record!!!! Yay Michael! Anyway the girls were really good too. This was the best olympics so far!!! I'm really pleased to see how well the US did in swimming. A lot of you have posted comments saying "I like your swimming blogs" or whatever, so when I read that I decided this would be a good topic. I really hope you liked the swimming in the olympics. If you did or didn't, post a comment telling us! I'm so happy I have so many readers and I owe it all to you guys. When I see I have 8 comments that makes me really happy. Thank you guys so much and be expecting a blog tomorrow about my first day being a 5th grade and my friends pool party! Thanks so much!

Zones

Hey its Splash the zones swimmer. I got back from zones in the afternoon on Saturday. It was really fun. I left Tuesday evening for zones. Wednesday was team picture and opening ceremony. Our team had the most swimmers so the picture was HUGE! After team picture we went out to eat with some friends who were also at zones. Opening ceremony was that evening. It was really fun. My friend got to carry a flag for opening ceremony. Then next day was my first event. The 100 free. I dropped some time so it was good. Friday was our free day. I didn't have any events so we went shopping, the to the pool so I could watch my friend race. The next day was my big event. The 200 free. I gained 2 seconds in that but it was exactly a week after I swam it, and you can't always get best times at EVERY meet. Over all it was a great meet. I mean sure I didn't drop in everything but it's a huge accomplishment to even make it there. My parents and coaches and friends were really proud. So was I. That was the most fun meet I've ever been to and I'm hoping to go again. Wish me luck for the future. Thanks for reading and have a good rest of your summer. The swimmer is out!

JO's!!!!!!

Hey you guys! Duh, its your favorite blogger, Splash! Well I just got back from JO’s. And I did great!!!! I’m really proud of my performance. Yesterday I swam 4 things including the relay. First event of all was the medley relay. We did good. The first individual event was 100 free. I dropped a second and... GOT A ZONE!!!! Then I swam the 200 IM. I dropped a second also but didn’t get the zone in that. My last event, the 100 back, I gained a second, but I was tired. So far I was having a good meet, and I was having a lot of fun. The next day I had 4 events again. To start the day off we did the free relay. We did great again. Then it was the 50 free and I had a 35.02 I ended up with a 34.94. I was happy. Then I had the 100 fly. Fly is not my stroke and I really don’t care for the 100 fly, but I like the 50. Anyway, I gained 2 seconds. My coach said he wasn’t worried about that race, he was worried about my next event the 200 free. It was my event. Everyone has an “event” of their own. Mine is the 200 free. The first thing I got a zone in. I was nervous but I knew swim your heart out and you’ll do fine. Well when I looked at the clock I dropped 3 seconds and got 4th over all. I was extremely happy because I’d be getting on the podium. All my friends were really happy. Oh and btw, I was 4th over all and that means I’m 4th fastest in my state!! I got a medal and that was the best way to finish my weekend. I would be swimming tomorrow but 10 and unders don’t swim on Sunday at JO’s. Well thats all for now, I think I’m gonna get some sleep, because I’ve got MegaZones on Wednesday but I think I leave Tuesday. Thanks for reading!
