Christian is now a Sierra Marlin in the Black Group (thier first competitive group). What will happen next summer? Still don't know, will the allure of swimming Long Course (50m) meets win out swimming with all of his Sea Otter buddies? Only time will tell...
I did like the start to this weeks practices though - emphasizing the importance of praticing the right way. Christian is also going to learn to not take a breath on his breakouts (from starts/turns) the hardway -- if he keeps taking that breath that slows him down he'll be doing burpies :) Welcome to competitive swimming!
