Chandler has already had a very busy summer. We just finished this season of swim team. We loved going to the swim meets and supporting Chandler.
His form is getting better and better. This is our third year on the Imperial Oaks Seals Swim Team.
This is Chandler getting psyched up to do the breast stroke. Just before he goes up on the platform I yell real loud and get him all hyper and psyched out to "pull" fast and hard in the water. He has a serious face but inside, if you can imagine, is the song "We will Rock you" or "Eye of the tiger". Of course, they have some real cool music going on at the meet.
They call up the next swimmers and Chandler gets ready and into form for the big dive.
One of Chandler's strengths is his dives. I did not capture it very well here. I will get a better picture of his dive. I wanted to put this in so you all get a good idea of how this all works. Anyway, he takes off and stream lines to almost the middle of the pool. Then he strokes like no tomorrow. I yell " Pull! Chandler! Pull!". I know he can't hear me very well, but , he knows I am their with my loud mouth yelling at the top of my lungs.
He sees the end coming and remembers that he has to put both hands on the wall at the same time or get DQ'd. He remembered and came in second. One of his best times at breast stroke. He loves free style and back stroke the best. I will get more pictures of those later.
Now we wait about 20 min. until the nest heat, and It starts all over again with a different stroke each time. He is amazing. He has worked really hard on these different strokes.
This is the ready bench. everyone has a certain place in line they have to stay in. It is very orderly. Chandler put on full gear for his next heat. He looks so handsome!
Hunter will start swim team next year. He is very excited.
