I turned 16 today(11-15-03) I waited at the DOL(department of licensing for 5 1/2 hours. I took my knowledge test & driving test. I passed!!! I am a licensed driver now!!
I went to the swim meeting yesterday, and the fastest person on the teams' 50 free was 28 sec.(he's the captain) and mine is 25, I am the "all star" of the team. at least what is what everybody keeps telling me:D :) :cool:

Physically, I think i'm up there with everybody else. I'm 6'2, 175lbs. I bench 190lbs, clean & jerk is at 110lbs, 40 yd dash is 4.8, and my 50 free is 25 seconds.
we had our first practice today(11-17-03) and I am only 1 of the 2 divers on the team, and I am one of the top 4 swimmers on the team. there is this kid who swims a 50 at about 23 seconds, then myself, and then we have 2 others around 28. we have a fairly large team. ESPECIALLY for a washington school. about 20 team members, then we share the pool with 2 other teams, they have 10, and 2. so we have 32 people swimming in the pool at the same time. which is fine with me, because the faster swimmers swim in lane 6(thats where I am) and then we have the the beginners and slower people in lane 1&2. the intermediate at lane 3, and we use lanes 4&5 for diving, and lane 6 is where the expierienced swimmers are. practice is from 3-5 pm. and diving practice is from 3-4:30pm. but diving is only like every other day or somewhere around that. I think we might have an ok season this year, but if not, it's ok with me. I am just using this year to get back in shape, and to learn better technique and stuff like that. so that is just an update on me.
by the way, I am aware that I am younger than most of the posters here, but I say, live with it, I am the future(my generation) and I'm just trying to learn as much as I can from experienced swimmers like yourselves.
