On the kids' backs they would write their last name. On their arms they would write their number. That helped the timers keep track of who was who.

The kids always got finisher ribbons at the end of each heat. The main heats, which were the scored heats, got special ribbons indicating their place.

At the end of the season, they had an awards assembly. Every swimmer got a team medal. Plus they gave out special awards.

Kevin got one of the special awards. He got the "I Can" award. It was for having a great attitude. Always being willing to fill in where needed, and always trying hard. He really was great about all of those things during the season.

Jenna also received a special award. She got the Barracuda award. That was for swimmers who put forth a lot of effort and made huge improvements through the season. She couldn't swim when we started this whole thing, so she has come a long way.
