Prelims

Tuesday we were back at the pool for individual stroke prelims. The big C qualified for freestyle and butterfly. He once again did great knocking 2 whole seconds off his butterfly seed time (that's the time that qualified him to swim in prelims, also known as his personal best time this season). He finished in FIRST place in his freestyle heat and 4th overall (out of 42 swimmers) and in butterfly he finished 3rd in his heat and 7th overall (out of 22 swimmers). Since he finished in the top 8 on both strokes he will return Wednesday to the FINALS!! Way to go!!
