We signed the boy up for a swimming event last Sunday - the 50 metres breast stroke for boys 5 years old but found out he had been placed in the same event for girls instead. So we made it known to the officials and were persuaded to either put him in the 50m kickboard event or the 50m breast stroke for boy 6 years old... and no, we can't sign him up for both events because the 'rules' specifies that they can participate in multiple events only if it is within the same "age group" (defined by age at time of competition). And no, there is no competition if he participates in his event alone. We knew he have a very good chance of getting a medal if he joined the kickboard event but that would have been 'no kick'.... (says the father).
He swam like no tomorrow and clocked 1:26.73 for the 50m breast stroke event.
We are so very proud of him!
