swimmers

Last year they could go under 

the water holding their breath.

This year, they are jumping off the side,

diving from the side of the pool,

and jumping/diving off the diving board.

We'll need more practice this summer

to perfect.  But, it's exciting to see

them confident in the water!

 

These teachers are really patient,

and they praise even when it wasn't

the kids' best dive/jump/tread.

 

They are so worth the price!

And in just two summers of lessons

my girls know so much more than I

think they would have learned other places.

T-Rex didn't have to come to swimming

lessons everyday, but when he was

there, I had to find things for him

to do.  If you're ever in this situation,

take lunch.  He MIGHT have spilled

a lot of his kool-aid all over his

shirt, and he MIGHT have dropped food

on the ground and picked it back up

to eat it, but at least he was occupied

with something other than worrying about

being in that pool!
