Jingle Bell Swim Meet








This swim meet was 2 1/2 hours away in south Florida, in a city called Clearwater, it is near Tampa. So Randy and Donovan made it a Father Son weekend. They came home with some fond memories that only those two will ever know and the rest of us get to stare at them every time they crack up and you don't understand why? Now the swim meet, once again Donovan did another awesome job! His first race was a 50 freestyle and his time was 30.60 seconds. Then he did a 500 freestyle and he did that in 6:40:29. Then he did a 200 IM and his time was 2:52:42. Then on Saturday he did 200's in freestyle and his time was 2:38:39 but was disqualified for a false start and his 100 back time was 1:19:53. He also did a 100 butterfly and his time was 1:33:00, however he was disqualified for improper leg movement. Then unexpectedly his coach came up to him and wanted him to join in on a 400 freestyle relay with the senior team. This team had a 20(Trevor Lowe),18(Tyle Petersohn) and 16(Jaron Lowe) year old on it. They were one short and they asked Donovan to join them. Donovan did it and didn't even get disqualified.The team had a time of 3:50:66. I think Randy was pretty excited because he called me from the meet right away to tell me about how Donovan was swimming with the older boys! I think as parents we get just as excited or more so than our son.
