Taupo Swim Meet.
In the weekend I participated in the Taupo Winter Swim Meet and swam multiple races placing in four of them. This meet was a BOP/PB tournament in which there were age groups 10 and under, 11yr olds, 12yr olds, 13yr olds, 14yr olds, 15yr olds and 16yr olds and over.
The races I competed in were, 100m free, 100m fly, 100m breast, 50m free, 50m fly, 50m breast and 200 breast. I placed 2nd in 100m free and 100m breast and 3rd in 50m fly and 50m free. The competition was extremely hard and I was impressed with my results.
We woke up at 5:30 am so we could leave at 6:00 am. I slept the whole drive so I could catch up on sleep. When we arrived at the Taupo pool at around 9:30 am and rushed to the front entrance to escape the cold.
The warm up was at 10:00 am. The pool was packed and it was hard to swim without hitting someone else’s arm. I was even hit in the head once or twice.
Race’s were about 30 mins apart giving just enough time for a snack in between race’s. I had a talk to my mates in between race’s as well. I was very pleased with all the PB’s (Personal Best’s) I made with my swimming time’s.
Over all I did pretty well and was very happy with my results.

Awesome effort and results. You must have been exhausted by the end of the day. It is hard to imagine keeping up with your busy schedule at the moment. I hope that your rugby is going equally well.
