Swimming

I've been doing competitive swimming for 2 years now and i am in a national level. That means i can travel to places such as: Edmonton, Las Angles, Montreal etc. for swim meets.
Last year when i went to Edmonton's champion ships. We went shopping at west Edmonton Mall on the day we got there. We got a small swim group award for the points we scored. You score points by swimming in a race and if you come in 8 place or any place under, you score points for your team and it is counted at the very end.
We won 200 dollars for our team, we would of split the money to all of us, but you would only get about 15 dollars each. Instead we put the money into these shirts which one of our team mates drew for us. The other half of the money we put into a dinner for the last day we stayed at Edmonton.

Ryan Cochrane won a bronze medal in the 1500m boys freestyle race in the Beijing Olympics.The cool thing is he's from my swim team!
