Brett

100 Brst - 1:30.31 – Brett raced right next to one of the girls (14) from the group that hangs out all the time. They were neck and neck the entire way, and Brett managed to just out touch her at the wall winning by .03 seconds 1:30.09. While this is an improvement, it is becoming obvious Brett’s breaststroke is flat-lining. We haven’t seen any major improvements this season. It may be related to his growth (several inches in a couple of months), but if he’s going to improve it may require a little extra and personal attention (read: private lessons). We’ll see if he is interested in that…currently my feeling is he’s afraid his friends will find out and make fun of him…but who knows.

200 Back - 3:02.76 – Not a great race here. His backstroke had been improving but he added a second and ended with 3:03.80.

50 Free - 36.54 – Terrible dive…too deep – but still improved by 1.38 seconds. Could have cut another second plus with a better dive…35.16

100 BFly - 1:53.08 – Dropped almost 10 seconds here. Of course he had it to lose. 1:43.19. Numerous parents commented on how good the form was…so there is progress. If he’ll not breath every stroke he could drop another 10 in a heartbeat.

200 Brst - 3:11.23 – flat-lined…almost exactly the same time 3:11.32

100 Free - 1:17.93 (really a 1:15.xx from the opening of the 200 free at time trials) – 1:14.79…so an improvement even over is 1:15.xx time. Unfortunately, he lost to a 12 year old girl in the lane next to him, and that girl swims on the Summer league team. We’ll see if there is any teasing that comes from this.

50 Brst - 43:49 – dropped just over a second 42.38. Still pretty pedestrian improvement.

800 Free - 11:20.37 – He actually did get in…and he managed to drop 14.77 seconds. Could have done better as he had a lot left when he got out. Just can’t get him to buy in and really push in the distance frees. 11:05.60
