Martha Bass Swim Meet @ Baylor Swim Club in Chattanooga TN
We have our only out of town meet this season in Tennessee this weekend. Bear has been swimming well in practice, Brett works real hard when he goes, but he hasn't wanted to go as frequently and I'm not fighting him at this point, and Bailey is still getting ramped up so we'll see how it goes. I'm not going to get into to much detail, but I did figure I'd at least give a high level overview...
--------------------------------------------------------------------
Bailey
50 Breast - Seeded 7th - 45.44 - she can move up here with a good swim. I haven't seen her really get this stroke going in a while and if she does she could drop some time here.
100 Back - Seeded 10th - 1:26.59 - only starting to learn correct arm strokes. Could mean a personal best if she puts it together.
50 Free - Seeded 11th - 34.19 - my bet is she's still too deliberate to go fast. Gotta maintain the correct stroke or she'll be yanked from the meet.
50 Back - Seeded 12th - 39.38 - see 100 back...
100 Breast - Seeded 4th - 1:35.90 - no shot to win, but could get 3rd or second with a good swim.
--------------------------------------------------------------
Brett
50 Breast - Seeded 12th - 39.82 - didn't do well in this one last race. Would like to see a much stronger pullout this time. If he does, I can almost guarantee a personal best.
100 Back - 1:29.77 - starting to creep up on his siblings with his time.
50 Free - 34.38 - slowly getting the kick better and it is paying off a little bit at a time.
100 IM - 1:29.71 - with his improved strokes I hope he doesn't go out conservatively in order to save energy. He could really drop a bunch of time by racing this one hard.
200 IM - NT - he actually has a time here, just not sure what it is. I just hope he swims it without having a panic attack.
50 Back - 41.48 - got to increase the effort to go faster here...
100 Breast - 1:29.77 - pull out, pull out, pull out, pull out...those 4 items will make or brake the race for him. I'm not sure he can get much faster in the middle of pool (unless he gets a lot bigger before this weekend).
50 Fly - 43.92 - if he gets his butt up higher in the pull phase of the stroke he'll kick stronger. He's done it in short spirts...not really expecting it this weekend.

Bear
100 Free - Seeded 7th - 1:14.03 - needs to work on gliding a bit more to maintain speed...
50 Breast - Seeded 11th - 49.46 - not really his best time, and this is still a work in progress so I doubt he get a PB here...
100 Back - Seeded 11th - 1:25.23 - man I hope he races this and isn't so tied up with his form...
200 Free - Seeded 9th - 2:40.47 - see 100 free and multiply it by 2...
200 IM - Seeded 6th - 3:06.64 - will bust his butt in this one, but I believe he'll be pretty fatigued from the 200 free and I don't expect a good time.
50 Back - Seeded 12th - 39.23 - see 100 Back...
100 Breast - Seeded 11th - 1:46.29 - see 50 Breast
50 Fly - seeded 12th - 39.66 - form is getting better, but I bet fatigue gets him here
