Oi, swimmer girl.
The whole sport of water polo gets two gold medals per Olympics. Swimming gets several dozen.

Oi ZenGum--
Every water polo match gives you four quarters of opportunity to kick, elbow, dunk, punch (oops, sowwy) and run over your opponent. Equal parts finesse and force, speed and stealth, collusion and collision. Swimming offers no contact whatsoever. Beep, swim, turn, swim, repeat. One's way funner, that's what I'm sayin. Furthermore, there's no reason she can't get a dozen medals across both events.

Oh dear........ Fun Friday at summer pool swim practice....they played "gutter ball"..... kind of like polo but fewer rules. I saw my sweet child try to drown her coach and pull the suit off her best friend.
(and laughed)

And back to swimming... got the entry/meet info for Zones in Wisconsin where she will swim for Team Michigan.... (vs both Dakotas, Wisconsin, Illinois, Iowa and Minnesota.) Kind of excited... there's a team uniform (and it's actually a bargain) and a team get-together and pic and she might get to swim on a relay...... (Her club doesn't have enough swimmers at her age and level to get relays going...) She has cuts in both 100 and 200 breaststroke, she may get more at State championships the week before.

Summer League Championships today, She was going for the breaststroke record, but missed it by half a second.
 She did win, though!!! in a very close race and a personal best for the 50. (There were approx 60 entered in the event)  CHAMPION!She was also 4th in the IM, 5th in the fly and her Medley relay was 6th. Hector also did great -he just aged up and is tiny, but was keeping up with the big boys -just missing the points places in his individual events, and scoring with his medley relay team. Thor swims tomorrow.
