High School Swim Meet

Today Mister B attended his first swim meet for the high school.  As the first homeschooler on the high school team I thought it was important that he shine.  And shine he did.  He wasn't a superstar.  He only swam in 2 relays but he did the team proud by keeping his lane in the race.

The high school team has been a great social outlet for him.  As much as he loves swimming on the club team he is also on those kids are from all over and it makes getting together socially next to impossible.  Plus, his two closest friends on the team decided not to continue this year.  Unlike the club team the high school team does team building stuff.  They have to take the bus together to and from practice and the meets.  After the first two weeks of practice they have a pasta night at the high school together.  The night before a meet they get together at a local pizza place for dinner.  I have to say that Mister B (social butterfly that he is) is loving every minute of it.

Even though my 9th grader did not lead the charge to victory the team did win the meet.  And they won against a private school known for its athletic prowess.  All in all it was a great afternoon.
