Swim Now
Breathe Later
2018 Summer Junior Olympic Team
...
Swimming with new friend Rayna
Oldest Haushalter cousin Eli also swimming in Junior Olympics
They both raced on the same day.
She started off strong and super fast and was way ahead of everyone....
then about 75% way through her body completely stopped and she couldn't breathe. (Now we truly understand her shirt that says swim now and breathe later..haha).
The next picture is where she slowly came in and finished her race.
She had a ~ 10 minute break and then had to get back in and do another 50 Breast stroke for her relay team.
She was fearful it would happen again, but she was fierce and a competitor and went for it!
She swam great!!!
Her team swam great and won 3rd place!
With her new friends and relay teammates
Kiera, Bella, Mason and Rayna
They even received medals...on the podium!

Paul, Eli and Noah were staying with us since Eli was swimming also.
