Update on swim meet and lost tooth

Ryan had a swim meet in Coconut Grove on Saturday. He swam the 25 back and free style and the 50 free. Unfortunately when he touched the pad at the end of his backstroke he rolled over on his tummy so he was disqualified. He did really well in both of the freestyle races. During his 50 free he didn't stop at one end he touched, turned and kept going. YAY RYAN!!!

Well, Ryan lost another tooth! He kept pushing at the bottom tooth, he even brought us dental floss and asked us to tie it to his tooth and to the door knob then to slam the door. (That's Grandpa Crist's idea.) Finally, on labor day we came home form the pool without a tooth. We're not sure if Ryan swallowed it or lost in the pool.

Another Big Day for Ryan

While Ryan was swimming in his very first meet on Saturday, his Tae Kwon Do buddies were testing for their next belts. Sooo Ryan got to test last night for his Green/Black belt and of course he did great. He had to do basic blocking, kicking , recite a very long student creed from memory, do 2 forms (very cool) and break a board with a skipping hook kick. He broke the board so fast that I missed the picture. His Kyosanim (instructor) is a mom too so she had Ryan kick again so I could get the shot.

Swim Meet Results!

Yeehaw!!!! Ryan placed 6th out of 21 in both the backstroke and freestyle. He swam the backstroke in 40.45 and the freestyle in 29.29. YAY RYAN!

Ryan's First Swim Meet

Ryan joined the Florida Keys Swim Club in July and his first meet was in Miami at Tamiami Park on Saturday, August 25th.

After getting over a case of the butterflies (mommy was the worst), Ryan did great at his first swim meet. He swam 25 backstroke and 25 freestyle. We'll hopefully have times and placement later today. Coach Mark said Ryan has a lot of potential.
