At 10, Linda has come a long way. Swimming is her thing. She is on the Y team, and just a year ago started USA swimming. This summer was the long course season. That is the 50 meter pools you see. 25 meter and yard pools are called short course.
Her first meet at this distance was good and surprised us all. Most of the season showed consistency. It took to the very last meet, but she qualified for 2 individual events for 10 and under at the JO Championships; the 50m freestyle and the 50m butterfly. Though she did not make the finals, she improved on her times. I did not think she would make individual cuts this time. She did, and I'm quite proud of her. Congrats, little one.
In addition to the individual events, she was able to swim 2 relays. She is quite good at relays. Way to go!
Short course season starts in Sept, plus she ages up. It will be tough, but she loves to swim. Go Linda!
