200 Metres Swimming – Done

On Saturday, Ben swam his first 200 metres, which was 8 lengths of the Meadowlands swimming pool. He started off doing front crawl and then backstroke twice, but then realised he could save energy by just doing backstroke. So for the final 4 lengths, he only did backstroke. He made it look easy though and I think he could have gone on and almost got to 400m if he tried, although he did say he was tired when he finished it! Well done though, and he will be having his certificate presented to him at assembly tomorrow. He is also on 95% now, so will be moving up a stage soon I think!
