Wow! Monday's Super-Swimmer Swim Off was great! Five swimmers ages 6-10 took the challenge. They each swam the 200 Freestyle, 200 Backstroke, and 100 Individual Medley. The times for the three events were added together to make one Super Time. All participants received trophies and pizza. Results are listed below. Congratulations to you all! I'm so proud of you.

The events for the Super Swimmer Meet were selected because they are the three parts of our Mutual of Omaha B-T 500 Challenge. Completing a 200 freestyle demonstrates strength and endurance. The 200 backstroke swim demonstrates lifesaving endurance. The 100 Individual Medley demonstrates stroke proficiency in the four competitive strokes: butterfly, backstroke, breaststroke, and crawl stroke. The B-T 500 Challenge is open to anyone.

I didn't receive any entries for the Mileage Monday scheduled for this Monday the 21st, so we won't have a meet. I encourage all Voyagers and adult lap swimmers to take the opportunity in February to swim a mile on Mileage Monday. Information is available on the website and at the pool. www.btaquatics.org/Mileage_Mondays.htm
ONLINE PAYMENT IS HERE! What you've all been asking for! You may now pay for Splash Meets and Swim School tuition on line using a credit card. The system is up and running.
WORLD RECORD RELAY: The World Record Relay event information is posted and we are accepting entries. www.btaquatics.org/worldrecordrelay.htm .
Have a great weekend! -jn
We swim for good times: fast times when we compete and fun times every time we get in the pool together. You can too! Face-Up First Swimming is also the home of the popular online course, Water Safety Education for Parents and Caregivers. My name is Jeanie Neal and I developed Face-Up First swimming and put together the online course.
