Swim

The girls just finished their swim lessons for the summer. Kali started out a little rusty but was very good at listening and following her teacher's instructions. He mainly focused on their side breathing with the freestyle. They also worked on their backstroke and then on the last day, the got to jump off the diving board and dive over their teacher's arm from the side of the pool. That really got Kali excited. Maybe we need to focus her efforts on diving. She'd probably be very good at it.

Sadie was like a fish in water until her teacher would ask her to put her head in. She would always do what her teacher asked but was obviously not doing it correctly. I think she was swallowing a lot of water because she forgets to blow her bubbles like she's supposed to. Then on the last day, Sadie asked me to put her goggles on. Her teacher said that it made all the difference. Now we know the key to her success and will definitely be using her goggles in the future.

Ashlyn was so disappointed on the first day of swim when she found out that Kali and Sadie would be getting in the water and she wouldn't, but that quickly wore off. She found plenty of other ways to entertain herself, including playing in the water. Thankfully she didn't find this spot until the last day. I had my hands full just trying to keep her from falling in.
