We got to sleep in all day!聽 We left to go to the pool around 3:30 p.m. for warm up and the start of the meet was at 6 p.m.聽 The 400 medley relay and the 800 free relay were tonight.聽 I was very surprised on some of the times that everyone was getting.聽
Competing at an outdoor pool was a lot different than a usual indoor meet.聽 It started to storm so everyone had to leave the deck and go into the gym until the storm passed over.聽 But it was a great experience swimming in the rain, in the sunny light, and in the dark.
