CANSA Relay for Life and my dad's big ride for CANSA

Last Saturday I went with my mom, dad and sister Ashleigh to the Relay for Life at Crawford College La lucia to support my dad and his friends who will be driving around South Africa on jet-ski's to educate people about cancer. I lit a candle for my cat Dexter who died of cancer and one for grandpa Whiley who died of cancer this year. I was very sad.

School Swim Meet

At my school gala on Thursday I swam well. Kath Meaklim, who is one of the world's best swimmers, helped me prepare for the meet and although I have a long way to go I really appreciate her helping me - she is the best! My coach, Graham, is also a star for training me and I thank him for all of his help.

My results:

First in Backstroke, first in Butterfly, first in Breaststroke and first in Freestyle for my age group! In the Butterfly I also beat all the boys!!!!!

Swim meet at Kings Park

I competed in the Kloof Minilympics this Sunday 28th feb 2010. There were over 350 children swimming! I have lots more practicing to do. But this is good because Kath Meaklim, World Short Course IM record holder, is coming to give me me pointers on my birthday this Thursday!! Kath is the most fun person, she has come out and swum with my Dad's sharks a few times.  I took first place in my heat for Fly and second place overall.
