We got to watch the kids at the end of each set of lessons for the parent viewing day. It was amazing to see how they progressed over the summer. Ben is getting stronger and likes to dive down under and swim around. He isn’t as big of a fan of the individual strokes and techniques, but he is getting to where he can play in the pool without constant contact with an adult. He is watched like a hawk of course, but he used to hang off of you and not be able to get around on his own very much. Elizabeth started in a smaller group of kids where the teachers really moved the kids around and almost always had hold of them. By the end of the summer she could easily make it half the width of the pool by herself and really enjoys putting her face in to blow bubbles. Yea for this improvement – hopefully they can hang on to their skills through the winter enough to start back in lessons next June about where they left off.
