Mombasa Junior Swimming Gala











Kyle and Ty participated in the Mombasa Junior Open Gala. Kyle began swimming on the Aga Khan Swim Team in the early part of February. Coach Fauz was impressed with his swimming ability and decided to enter him in 3 individual events (free style, breast stroke, back stroke) as well as the 2 medley events. Kyle place 6th (free style) and 11th (back stroke) in his age group.

A week before the gala, Ty’s nursery swim coach requested he swim at the event. He participated in 2 events and finished 5th in his heat (free style) and 8th overall (breast stroke) in his age group. This was our first gala. It was a very long 2 days waiting for the children to swim, but it was a great to see that the boys were risk taking in their participation.

Hello our African Family :-)

We learned more about the Olympics from your blog entry than from the media coverage from this side of the world ! We are in Australia, Sunshine Coast, heading to the Great Barrier Reef next week.

Can't wait to see you. I hope that Scott likes fish by the time we are there ! We read something about a Japanese feast = does that mean sushi ??

Take care,

Choate Family

Gorgeous!!!!! Brings back memories of teaching in Mombasa. Is the New Aga Khan better than Mombasa Academy? Lots of expatriates in MA, did you ever consider that school? - Tyler....
