Swamp fest 2008 - day 1

Rachel had a decent day today at our home swim meet. She cut some time on her 200 IM, but came REALLY close to being disqualified...she barely touched the wall with her backstroke flip turn due to turning too quick. Robert gave her some advice on what she can do next time that happens to reduce her risk of getting the big DQ. Sometimes, it's good to have a parent who is an official in your sport! That was the only event she cut time in, but she was within 3 seconds of her best time in all the other events, and in one of those (the 50 breastroke) she lost her goggles again. But, she didn't have any trouble maintaining a straight path this time!
