A Big Performance

Collins' best swim meet of the season turned out to be the first home meet against Greystone. The Dolphins ended up beating their rivals by three points so overall it was a good meet for everyone. For Collins, she had gone to practice every day the week prior and was ready!

No nerves going into the freestyle...

Love her dive here (she's in the first lane)! It shows how far out she got ahead of the competition...

 She placed in the race, and you can tell from that happy face...

Then she won her heat in the backstroke!

Here she is touching the wall first... 

 Cute group of 7-8 girls this year...

 Thankful for darkness because the heat is almost unbearable at the swim meets...

We were so proud of Collins, and she was pretty darned proud of herself. She showed big improvement at this meet and got some cool ribbons to show for it!
