stay out of the water

so i am officially one of tesoros swim team photographers. 

took some fun ones yesterday (ya know, sometimes youre ON, and sometimes youre OFF...well, i was ON yesterday in the photo taking department), at a meet against university...sorry only swim/polo 

moms will get any real pleasure out of looking at these. 

i get it. 

watching half naked kids running around in freezing cold weather isnt for everyone.

im kind of used to it now.

doesnt phase me a bit.

seen it all.

for years.

(maybe i love it cuz it reminds me of when the girls were swimming)

and to all you swimmers out there.

got a little tip for ya... 

dont jump in the water to celebrate a monumental, amazing win until the 

last extremely close, highly anticipated race of the day is completely over. 

tesoro was in the lead by 1 point against this highly ranked team (they came in 2nd in state last year, CIF champs over and over...so i hear). anyway, a tesoro swimmer who will remain nameless (no, it was not hunter-thank goodness-talk about scarred for life) jumped in the water, just as this important race finished (so he thought), to celebrate this incredible win.
there he was, screaming, fists in the air, jumping up and down in the pool...big smile on his face. 

for only one split second.

till the whistle was blown.

till he realized he was the only one celebrating in the water.

silence on deck.

mouths agape.

a couple swear words could be heard.

he disqualified his team.

then pandemonium set in.

so instead of winning by 1 point. 

we lost by 1 point. 

so lesson to be learned...

stay out of the water unless YOU are racing.

and learn the appropriate time to celebrate a phenomenal win.
(i just hope he recovers...)

apparently we have a decent team this year...
