Ocean County YMCA Aquatics Meet

April 16, 2011
Last weekend I competed in an area swim meet at the Ocean County YMCA. Chris and I walked around the pool with the olympic torch before the swim meet started. I swam the backstroke in the 200 medley relay, the 100 yard freestyle and 100 yard backstroke and a 200 yard freestyle relay. Our medley relay team came in third. I won a silver medal in the 100 yard freestyle, a gold in the 100 yard backstroke and I don't know how the team placed in the freestyle relay. I will find out tomorrow when I go to the Marlins swim team practice.

In a little more than two months, I will be going to Greece!

Training Camp, San Diego, California, March 27-31, 2011

Sunday: I arrived at the Hotel Crown Plaza around lunch time. After lunch, I waited for my roommate, Ann, to check in. After dinner, I went to the team doctor for an exam. She found out that I had an ear infection. I started taking medicine for it on Sunday night.

Monday-Wednesday: I swam three hours in the morning and two hours in the afternoon each day. We swam at the San Diego State University pool. There were 40 swimmers in the pool at the same time. I felt sandwiched in.




On Monday night we had a fashion show. I saw all of the different sports team uniforms Our swimsuit  is red and blue.

On Tuesday  we went to see the San Diego State baseball team play but the swimming team had to leave early because we needed to get up early on Wednesday We had a Greek night on Wednesday. We had Greek food and saw Greek people dancing.
