Max has been looking forward to having the Special Olympics Regional Swim meet for over a year. Covid has made it impossible to have a swim meet and when he found out they were having one he was so excited. He loves to compete, not with others, but with his own personal time. He was not pleased with his times at the swim meet. When he did the 100 butterfly the announcer did not give him time to even get ready on the block. As you can see in the video, he spoke without giving a pause in between, “Take your Mark” and then, the beep a few seconds later. He had the beep go off right after he spoke. This happening through Max off and he was disappointed 😞 that he didn’t have a few seconds to prepare for his dive.

I have realized after many swim meets that even a second is a BIG DEAL.
