Taye qualified for two races at the North Carolina Swim Age Group Champs this year. The 50 Free and the 50 Fly. He also swam four relays - great fun! Taye is a content swimmer. He enjoys the competition, doesn't seem to care at all for the ribbons, and is usually focusing on his next big time. But mostly he finds it exhausting. He swims more miles in a week than most of you run or walk. By the time practice is over there is a short 20 minute window to get him home and fed before the tears start. Then homework and bed as fast as he can get there. I'm impressed that he can give it everything he's got every day at the pool. We purchased Taye a team track suit with his name just in time for the big meet. He wore the jacket to church the next day over his shirt and tie so I know he loves it. Last year.
