50 Fly

For 3 years in a long and interesting swimming career , my son has tried to break 30 seconds in the 50 Meter Butterfly. Two weeks ago he did just that. But, this past Saturday, in the last regular meet of the summer season he swam a spectacular 28.89 And if you can't fathom how fast that is, just ask Michael Phelp's mom.

PS There are 4 other swimmers in the water with him, just about to make their turns.

Lovely day for a swim

Seems Danny was just born to swim. I remember when he was small he told me, "I do my best thinking in the water". I think he still does. Here's some shots of him preparing for, and competing in the backstroke. It's still a joy watch to watch him swim.
