Swim Team Party and Awards

Wednesday, April 13, was the end-of-short-course-season party for the Tsunami swim team. About 85 swimmers from the team attended! They started at the pool with an egg dive. The eggs had numbers on them, which corresponded to prizes. Ryan ended up with one of the grand prizes for his age group – an Easter “goodie bag” filled with a chocolate bunny (Ryan could have stopped there and been happy), markers, a huge bubble wand, those tubes of rubber bubbles, and a bunch of other stuff. He was pretty happy.

While the kids were doing the egg dive, I was one of the parents who set up the food. The team provided about 15 large pizzas and 2 sheet cakes, and then each swimmer brought a food contribution – chips, salad, fruit tray, veggie tray, etc. There was A LOT of food there! I have never seen 15 pizzas disappear so quickly! It seemed like only about 3 minutes from the stacks of full pizza boxes on the table to turn to stacks of empty pizza boxes on the floor!

Here are a few pictures of Ryan with some of his friends…


The swimmers were awarded their medals and ribbons from the Park City meet, the BC meet, and the State meet. Ryan ALMOST looks like Michael Phelps with his collection of medals!
