Swimming Lessons

This year we had all the kids in swimming lessons except Kadie (she did well enough last year). Alex and Daisey were placed in the intermediate beginner's class. Alex really should have been moved up with the older kids because he did so well. All the teachers were disappointed that we were moving to Enoch because they would have done well with swim team.







Learning how to dive


Alex and Daisey would beg the teachers to let them jump off the diving board. Finally on the last day they were able to. They loved it and went over and over again! Check out Daisey, she was the shortest (and probably youngest) in their class.





Alex's teacher wanted him to swim the length of the pool. He did a great job, but was so exhausted when he was done!











Lucie and Sidney's turn! They both learned so much this year and did very well. Again, the coaches wished we were staying because both were very smooth and fast swimmers.

Lucie and Sidney's turn at the diving board. I couldn't get either of them to dive or flip. But they loved to cannonball and splash the lifeguards.
