Marlins and Sea Wasps Competed in Bernardsville, NJ

1-31-2010
I went to a swim meet with the Marlins, the Sea Wasps and some swimmers on Team NJ. Our Head Coach Karen Pratz drove up from Ocean City with one of swimmers. Another swimmer came from Westville with his family. Patty Allen, one of the Marlin's coaches gave me a Marlins swimsuit to wear. I swam in five events: 25 meter backstroke, 50 meter butterfly, 50 meter freestyle, and two 100 meter relays. I swam freestyle in the relays. I was very sore after I got done with the last relay.

Swimming with the Marlins

Even though it was really cold, I went swimming with the Marlins in Freehold.
We swam for an hour without stopping. We swam all of the strokes and then we went to the therapy pool to cool down. Then the coach called my name and gave me an award for the best swimmer of the night. I was surprised.
