European Forces Swim League Championships
J took R early for warm ups. The rest of us arrived not too long before R's race!
Reu is in the orange cap! This picture is zoomed in. The next one is the actual view we had. This was a huge place with a really nice pool! That morning R told his daddy..."Thanks for bringing me to this dad. It is really fun to be a part of it!"
Reu ended up 10th in his age group for the 50 free for the entire league of swimmers. He was a little dissappointed he didn't get a medal, in fact he didn't even swim his qualifying time. He had been sick with a bad cold and didn't make it to practise all the week before. The pool was also so big and intimidating. But it was a wonderful experience and being 1oth in the league was nothing to sneeze at... we were really proud. Then between races this is what the kids did to pass the time before the relays.
Reuben was in two relays. The first one he was the anchor and they won their heat. The second relay they came in second! We then made our trip back home. We ended up moving our luggage seven times that day and we wondered if the train was the best idea at that point! This picture was taken out the window of the train...the end of another wonderful trip.

Reuben this is a great accomplishment that I know required a lot of hard work and commitment from you and the whole team. We are so proud that you were able to qualify to go to the championships. It was an honor and recognition of your talent. What a big pool! You on the starting stand, looks like the Olympics. Granny Jo and Papa Nick
