Friday- SUCCESS!

  Today was the swim meet and as I had wanted I came in first for all my events! Actually I tied for first in the 50m freestyle, with 29 seconds. I tied with a 10th grader from Victoria Park. That basically is stating we KICKED BUTT! I also came in first for the Jr.Men 50m Fly because there were no juniors, however due to that reason I had to compete against the seniors. It was quite embarrassing because, I lost to a senior girl from A.Y Jackson High School. However, what made me feel good is that she was is OFSAA for the 50m fly. 
      OFSAA is a competitive swim competition that one must qualify for. This is not easy, because the qualification times are very fast, for Jr.Men 50m fly the qualification time is 32 seconds and at the moment I am at 35 seconds. If one wants to win in OFSAA they must be atleast 3-4 seconds lower than the qualification time. Therefore, if I wanted to win in OFSAA, I would have to have a time of approximately 29 seconds. This is the time I had for my 50m free and the 50m free is much faster than the 50m fly. People who make OFSAA are amazing swimmers and those who win are superstars. In our own school there is a 16 year old swimmer that is 5th best in Canada for he's age, therefore when he went to OFSAA he came in fifth in the nationals. He came to the swim meet and got 22 seconds in the 50m free and he told me that he wasn't trying! That is a crazy fast time not to mention that he wasn't even trying!
