Swimmingly

The kids of Stony Beach - all Falmouth Beaches, in fact - got to show their stuff at the Robert L. Kendall Memorial Swim Meet earlier today in Buzzard's Bay at the Mass Maritime Academy.  The gigantic poster they painted yesteday before swim lessons marked this small but stellar team's spot in the stands.

Here Charlie's chatting up the parents and grandparents while awaiting his time to swim.  You would never know - he later admitted - he was nervous. 

Truly I think the nerves kicked in once he slid in the water, but Coach Jess gave him some instructions and he swam his little heart out and came in second! 

Then he swam in another race and came in 4th!  What a great day!
