2011 Swimming Lessons

A few days before this was taken we went swimming and I wanted D to show me the things she had been learning. She refused and said she wanted to surprise me. SHE DID! She was a fish. Last year she did not want to even have her face under the water.

Carter is built solid. He has no fat and has dense bones therefore, floating is a challenge for him, He is lucky to get his head out of the water. He is like Scott. He worked hard even though it was difficult for him. He is growing quite a bit and coordination is not one of his strengths right now. All his muscles and bones are focused on is growing.
Emma has no fear and barrels in. She loves Trish and when Trish asked her students what is the #1 safety rule about swimming, Emma's response was, "Not to drown." It was not quite the answer she was looking for but figured it trumped all other answers.

Aaron is demonstrating the survival jump, I love this picture it looks like he

is running onto the water.

Also the survival jump!

Trish said Scott could come in his suit for A and B lessons and jump in afterward. He of course took her up on her offer and got into a dunking war with all 4 students.
