AJ and his fellow teammates that comprised a 9-10 year-old boys medley relay.


A signature event at the mini-meet (which is a meet exclusively for kids 10 and under) is a t-shirt relay. An oversized adult t-shirt has to be worn by the starting swimmer of the relay, and passed onto each swimmer and worn every leg of the relay. It is really hard to swim with the extra weight of a baggy t-shirt!
