My sports star

Veek represented his school in the bayside district swimming comp on tuesday and came first in the 50 metre backstroke finals. We're all very proud of him as he hasn't had swimming lessons since he was 5 so it's quite an achievement.
He also got selected for the school league team. Trials were quite hard as he was competing against kids aged 9 to 12. He was the only grade 5 kid to be selected. All the rest of his team are grade 6 and 7 so he has to try really hard to keep up with their skills. The school league season starts in 2 weeks so we'll keep yall posted.
Also we only have 69 days to go till we fly home to NZ.
