Olympic Gold Medalist

Ely has always had a love for swimming. He has swam on his own since he was 18 months. He just jumped in one day and began to doggie paddle. And with the energy he has it's no wonder that he and water are a match made in heaven (and he is an Aquarius for those who are interested.)
Lawrence County Aquatics, held at Bedford North Lawrence High School, is Ely's new passion.
He attended his first meet in Columbus and did a good job for only being a part of the group for less than 2 weeks. Here he is lowering himself into the pool  for the 50 meter back stroke.

And he is off...

He loved competing.

The other day at school his teacher asked, "What do you want to be when you grow up?"

Elyjah answered, "An Olympic Gold Medalist." He said that his teacher's reply was something like... that would be a great thing because you will get to be constantly active. 

I am just fine with this Olympian plan of his! Only time will tell. 

So happy to see my boy so happy,
Jen
