Andrew & Lainey swim Comp

This was Lainey's first swim competition and it was great she was so nervous to start and emotional that she didn't swim the back stroke.  It took her watching Andrew do his butterfly and watching the back stroke before she thought "I can do this" and then she was ready for the front stoke.  She did amazing she dove right in and killed it and won the GOLD medal!  She was so happy and proud of herself as were we =).
Andrew was doing the butterfly for the first time in a competition and he was a little nervous but he did amazing just like every other time.  He swam it really hard and won the GOLD, he is truly an amazing swimmer and it makes me so proud to get to watch him swim and succeed like he is.  He then had to wait for a little bit to swim the front stoke and he did such a good job of cheering on his teammates and Lainey.  Then it was his turn and his goal was to beat his old time of 18.49 and I don't have the final time yet but from what I could tell with the video he beat it and won the GOLD.  
Both of the kids did such an amazing job I couldn't have been prouder of them both.  Here are some pics from the comp and a link to the videos on YouTube.
