Next stop: Orlando and swim meet #2!
Well, we've barely been able to fully appreciate Jason's accomplishment this past weekend, before having to prepare to do it all over again. Jason will be participating in another meet in Orlando that's being run by the YMCA. Some of his teammates will be there from Special Olympics, but it isn't a Special Olympics event. He has already been informed that he will be traveling this weekend to another meet, and he seems to be ok with it so far. This time, the pool is indoors, but supposedly the building still gets hot anyway. I say, it can't get much hotter than it was during the first meet outside. The meet will be at the YMCA Aquatic Family Center, the website for the facility is http://www.ymcacentralflorida.com/y-locations/aquatic-center/. Anybody in the Orlando area that wants to come cheer him on during the meet on Saturday, please feel free. The more, the merrier. I will post the results as soon as we have them. Wish us luck!!!!

ReplyDeleteHow'd it go??
ReplyDeleteHe swam 5 events, 50 meter freestyle, 50 meter breaststroke, 4x50 meter freestyle relay, 4x50 meter medley relay and 100 meter freestyle. The medley relay means each member of the relay team does a different stroke. Jason did the breaststroke for that relay, which they finished second in their heat. He also won his heat in the 100 meter freestyle. This competition had a lot more swimmers from around the state, but he held his own very well against the increased competition.
