Took a short trip to Charlottesville where Jack swam at the 8 and under North District Championships. He swam 7 events, had 4 personal bests, achieved 2 new times and now has official times in all 4 strokes! It has been incredible watching him grow as a swimmer. We cannot thank Coach Tracey and Coach Heather enough for believing in him and building his confidence! @rays_swimteam #raysthebar ⭐️ Videos are each of the 25 yard events ⭐️
Our little Rays did an amazing job this weekend at their 8 & Under Championship meet! 🙌🏻 #RaysTheBar

As I drive my youngest to Richmond for a meet at o-dark 30 I realize how much I will miss this soon. She could go on her own but sleeping in on a Sunday am was never really my thing. When she heads off to college I will probably stalk her there too. #raysthebar #swimfast
