Swimming Season again!

...and these just arrived in the mail. Our only pictorial record of John Paul's 1st Season! He had a good beginning.

On your marks!



Blowing out during back stroke!



John Paul continues with the same coach and learning a great deal about discipline, punctuality, making every moment count, giving your best effort, team spirit, self development and humility!

All of us are bleary-eyed and sleep deprived because we're still learning how to get to bed on time. Go, John Paul! We all need the lessons in human diligence and hope!
So,
John Paul sees the post and brings out his medals. The coach had just given them to him at his last practice. Who knew!


John Paul's Medals earned at the
11th Annual Spring Championships -- Rockville Montgomery Swim Club - 3/28/2009

Left Medal: 2nd Place -- Time: 3:38.18 -- Men 13 & Over 400 Yard Freestyle
Right Medal: 7th Place -- Time: 5:36.87 -- Men 15 & Over 500 Yard Freestyle

Congratulations! Nice work!
