Up at 6am both Saturday and Sunday to get Clara to her first AA swim meet.  Home by 2pm both days BUT upon arrival home today, Marc discovered that our swimmer had made it to the finals of the 50m backstroke so.... back to the pool for 4pm warm up and home now... 8pm.  Long but very wonderful day.  Clara put down 3 more personal bests and even swam her final half a second faster than she'd swum it in preliminaries!  We are so impressed.

Clara in lane 8. She is wearing a red cap, the second swimmer from the bottom of the frame.
