freestyle, time: 2.37

juliette, marissa, & audrey

freestyle, time: 39.87

(if you'll notice when juliette first jumps in she starts to look around - apparently she was unsure if she was doing freestyle or butterfly; even after she gets going she looks over a few times to make sure the other swimmers are doing freestyle. she still did a great job!)

coach avery & her swim crew

butterfly, time: 45.95
(and this time she made it w/o being DQ'd, YAY!!!!)

@ staging

backstroke, time: 37.27
