Last wednesday the Championships Grade School S
wimming were finally there. They were held in the national swimming centre 'De Tongelreep'. It was the first time ver that Joram's school attended the championships. Joram participated in the relay race for grade 2 and 3. Before the big day there were trained and coached bij Astrid van den Hoogendband (Pieters mom) There were schools that had been participating for years and they even had children in their teams who were swimming in teams and competitions. Jorams relay race team did not have one of those swimmers. They just had six very motivated swimmers. That should be enough to give them a great afternoon in a great swimming pool. Joram was very nervous and the Rescue spray I used on him was not effective anymore. Loek had to start first because they said that during practise he was watching the bords (looking around) and Joram had to start last because he showed he was the fastest swimmer of them all (And it's not just a biased mother talking.............) So Loek started first and made everybody's chin drop: He went like the wond! No bird watching there! When Joram dove in the water the team was in fifth place (which was a great achievement to begin with) and he also made all those people's chin drop: He pased three children and they ended in second place! They were so proud (and so were the moms and dads) They went home with a medal and Joram was allowed to bring the trophy so that he could bring it to school the next day. The next days afternoon they went around the classes and showed off their medals and the trophy. One of the first things Joram and Loek said when they were in the dressing room: We are going to do it again next year!
