Today was the Valley Shore YMCA Marlins' first competition of the season. It was also Rica's first ever swim meet. It was a big surprise for us, since she just tried out for the team last month, and was supposed to train for some time before competing. We just found out a last week that she was entered in the 9-10 Age Group.
The Marlins faired extremely well in today's meet against Fairfield. Rica swam well - her 200 yard freestyle relay team won, and she placed second in her individual events: 50 Free, 50 Back and 50 Breast.
Not bad for a first meet. She had a blast, and that's what it's all about.
