Everyday Max and his team mates had to ride the bus from Seattle to Federal Way. It was a 30 to 45 minute bus ride. They would have to get up at 5:00am or 4:30am to get to the pool on time.
This is where they swam at. It was a beautiful facility
Max got 2 towel to keep when he arrived at the hotel.
He would of walked away with three gold, but he had never swam in a metered pool before and he miss judged the wall when he was swimming the butterfly. He was even ahead of the other swimmers, but he said he was not able to touch the pool wall
because it was further than what he was use to.
Max's new friend won the Gold in the butterfly and Max was happy he did.
