Summer swim and dive season is here! Hector took first in the dive last night against a strong team, and Hebe and Thor both took third. Then today, at the swim meet, Hebe and Hector took first in all of their events and Thor got a first in his relay and 4th in the 50 free -and he's one of the youngest in the age group! Partciluarly stunning were Hector's victories -his diving has always been somewhat erratic, and two of his first places were in his individuals -one of which was the backstroke -easily all my kids' worst stroke. After 6 months off. Unbelievably Awesome. Very proud and especially happy because our team won against a team which has a few parents who sneer openly at our tiny neighborhood pool
