Wyatt tried out for junior lifeguards on March 22nd.To pass the tryout he need to swim 100 yards in under 2 minutes.
His first attempt was 2 minutes 8 seconds.
Wyatt was crying before he even came out of the water.
His second attempt was 2 minutes 6 seconds.
Now he was really crying, I mean really crying - he quickly exited the
Now he was really crying, I mean really crying - he quickly exited the
pool building and swore he would never swim again.
Fortunately, he calmed down and decided to give swimming another try.
Luckily some nice boys from school joined the Shore Aquatics swim team
and were also training to pass the junior lifeguard qualification test.
After doing laps for 1 1/2 hours a day three days a week:
The boys qualified on Saturday! Wyatt swam his 100 in 1 minute 48 seconds!
So Ian, Wyatt and Austin have qualified for Junior Lifeguards.
The only problem is Wyatt did not qualify at the first tryout and we were in Arizona for the second tryout. Even though Ian and Wyatt were the first two boys to qualify on Saturday all the morning JG spots were full - so they are number 8 & 9 on the waiting list.If JGs doesn't work Wyatt wants to do some sailing this summer.

I guess it just goes to show that if you're determined enough and willing to work hard enough...nothing is impossible! Way to go Wyatt! Hopefully you'll get off the waiting list soon!
