Miles swimming

Miles has always been a wonderful swimmer. He loves the water.

His best stroke is the breast stroke. Miles usually swims 4 events at a swim meet. The 25 freestyle, 25 breast and a medley relay where 4 boys each swim 1 lap in a different stroke. Miles swims the breast in the medley relay and he swims in the free relay.The last 2 swim meets he swam the Individual medley. He swims one lap each of the 4 strokes, first butterfly, back, breast and free. He took 2nd place one meet then got disqualified the next time for a small kick infraction when swimming the butterfly. There are only a handful of kids who can swim all 4 strokes at 8. I am so proud of him. He worked very hard all season. 

Miles is so hard on himself and a fierce competitor. He expects greatness from himself. Swim team was hard on him because he always wanted to beat his best time. He is going to get and give me an ulcer before he moves out from worry. He is going places one day.

Here is video of him swimming the 25 free. He is in the 2nd lane from side of pool.
