Swim Invitationals is the regional swim meet with all 8 teams in the league competing. Each team gets to enter their fastest 4 swimmers for each age group for freestyle and their fastest 2 swimmers for each age group for each of the other strokes.

















Due to a computer error, all of the Sharks team swimmers ended up without recorded times for seeding into heat. Therefore all the Sharks were defaulted to swimming in the second heats. That means there was always an additional heat after the one they swam in, that typically had faster swimmers in it. And that is why it will look like AJ takes several first places, but doesn't end up placing first when his times were matched up wtih times of all the swimmers in all heats.

This is the mini-meet for ages 10 and under where the older kids run the meet. This is AJ's last year competing in this meet (next year he will have to be a coach or timer for the meet).

Like Phelps and Lochte! AJ's friend out touches him this time.

Can you spot the flag?




This was an unusual find. This hallway had over 10 individual bathrooms.
