Nathaniel's First Swimming Meet

This swimming meet was in Opilika, Alabama. And man was it hot!! We sat in 100F heat, in direct sun, for about 3 hours. Before long, I was wondering if I could go and get in the pool. He is actually so funny about his swim goggles: He says the black swim goggles are his racing goggles, and they make him swim fast, fast, fast!!! Maybe there is some truth to it. Nat cut 10 seconds from his time trial for freestyle, 6 seconds from his breast stroke, and about 2 seconds from his back stroke. So, the swimming competition was definitely good for him.
