So, the YMCA has a Y-athalon for kids once a year. This year, miraculously we didn't have a baseball game so the boys thought they'd like to try it. The Y-athalon is a swim and run event. For Ryan's age group, he had to swim 75yds (3 lengths of the pool) and then run 1/2 mile. For Jack, it was a 125 yd swim (5 lengths of the pool) and a 1/2 mile run. There were 10-15 kids in each of their age groups. I was very proud of both boys...they both swam freestyle the WHOLE way. We even encouraged them to "frog" swim part of it - but they both continued freestyle - with no stops! Unbelievable! Ryan was 2nd for kids who swam independently and 3rd overall for his age group. The lifeguards had to jump in to help pull a couple of kids on kickboards, who were not strong swimmers. And Jack took 1st place! His swim was awesome...he was first out of the pool! Unbelievable. They both felt very proud for finishing their first Y-athalon and for doing so well. They were given awards and got to stand on hay bail podiums. :-)
