Brunei Age Group 2014

Last week was the Brunei Age Group - a biggie and a meet not to be missed. Unfortunately it fell on the same weekend as the JIS Football Funday so the kids only raced on the Friday and Saturday and played football on the Sunday. 

It was a great first day with the three winning a medal each. Iman a bronze for 50m breast, her favourite stroke. Jack a silver for 50m free - so proud of him for this achievement considering the other boys in the race were bigger and better built than our Jack. And Ayden won a bronze for 50m breast. 

And a win-win by the two boys the following day was even better. Swimming in the same age category of 7-9 year olds, they both placed in the 50m fly race. Ayden winning the silver and Jack the bronze. We couldn't have been more prouder seeing them on a podium together for the first time. 

However medals or not, the McCarthy kids have leant to enjoy these meets and have fun. They enjoy hanging out with team mates and have made friends with the kids they regularly compete against.
