So I made this bet with my 9yo daughter. The bet was that if she swam 100 free (this past Sunday) within 30 seconds of what I swim it in (on the 28th), I would have to give her $20 (10 to her, 10 to her savings account). She is very competitive with me (we race down the slides at the swim center :duel:) and she loves to beat me.
So I was figuring on her going about 1:35-1:38, which means I would have to go about 1:05, really didn't that would be a problem. So what does she do? She nails her start and does THREE flips turns (she does them well in practice, she just isn't confident in them yet) and throws down a 1:29.37. I was thrilled, cause she looked great. Then I did the math :doh:, I gotta go sub 1:00. Maybe in a couple of months, sure, don't think I'm gonna get it in this meet. Ugh, nothing like a trash talking 9yo :rofl:.
Me and my big mouth, maybe I should have held out for 20 seconds??????

I was timing her lane so when she hit the first 50 in 43, I knew I was in trouble. She is going to be a distance swimmer cause she just keeps swimming. I don't think sprints are in her future. I don't know where I went wrong......distance swimmer plus she LIKES Evilstroke? Ugh.
But I am her biggest fan and she continues to amaze me on a daily basis so that is what it is all about.
I'm gonna miss than $20 tho :thhbbb:
