Isaiah 58: 11

Isaiah 58:11

The LORD will guide you always; he will satisfy your needs in a sun-scorched land and will strengthen your frame. You will be like a well-watered garden, like a spring whose waters never fail.

Swim Meet 2014

We spent this past weekend at the pool. As always it was a thrill to watch Max and Simon swim for the Qatar Academy Falcons. This international competition was hosted here in Doha with teams attending from Kuwait, UAE, and Jordan. We hosted three swimmers from Dubai and had a wonderful weekend -- although feeding five teenage boys does keep Mom busy.

In the end Simon brought home 7 medals, including a GOLD in the 50m back stroke. And Max brought home 7 medals, including a SILVER in 100m Free (losing to his teammate who also swims on the Qatar National Swim Team).

The pool uses the electronic Colorado Timing System and human backup timers. Some races were very close -- Max won the SILVER in 50m Fly by 6/100th of a second!


And it was no wonder that Max's Freestyle Relay team won the GOLD medal; earlier in the day they made a clean sweep of medals in the 100m Free.
