Today we had a mini dual meet with the Las Vegas swim team (Team Rebel Aquatics). It took place at the University pool and warm-up began at 8:30 and actual racing started at around 9 am. Each Chena swimmer swam 2 events from Provincials (Thursday or Friday) and 1 choice event.
Results:
13 Best times
5 Tied best times
15 Top 8 swims (comparing to results from Provincials in Kamloops)
Afterwards we went home and ate lunch. We rested at the house for the rest of the day by watching Ocean 11 (again), playing in the pool, and playing 21 (basketball game). Unfortunately Nico and Rob lost their game of 21 against Kelly and they have to swim couple laps of fly. We also had fun with the family, mainly Josh and Justine and their friend Sean. We had an early dinner of noodles and veggies. Then we headed to the Strip to watch Cirque du Soleil.
At Treasure Island, we saw the Siren's Cove and the special 'Siren' motorcycle. Then we entered the 'Mystere' theatre. When we first entered, there were two baby cariages in the middle of the stage. Before the show started, a comedian entertained us by throwing popcorn at different members of the audience.
The show 'Mystere' was extremely good. My favourite was the ariel cube where the man would do acrobatics with a metal cube frame. During the sport acro pair's performance, we saw a couple elements that Josh's friend, Nasko could duplicate. It was mind boggling to see a man hamstring curl a guy doing a handstand.
After the show we went home and slept.
