Ethan was in level 5 again this year. He is doing so great, he just needs to work on his strength, and not belly-flopping when he dives. More on that another day....hehe.
Ally had a close call drowning about a year ago so is now a little fearful when she gets in over her head. She was pushed a bit this session (level 4) and even though she was scared she did everything her teacher asked. It was awesome, I can't wait to see how much she has improved by her next lessons in August. I don't even want to think about what is in that water that is pouring out of her mouth. Ewww!
Ryland (level 2) is a real treat to watch. Everything is "Mom! Watch this! Mom! Watch that!" He is too cute. I was especially grateful I was snapping photos when I got the bare bum gem! That was priceless. Wanna know what he did the next three days of lessons? Undies under the trunks.
Evelyn (level 1) improved the most since last year by far. Last year she wouldn't get in water deeper than her ankles. This year she actually would put part of her face in the water. She was like a little fish. It was super fun watching her come out of her shell.
It was super fun watching the kids increase their swimming skills. This coming from a mom who can't go under water without plugging my nose. I know, I'm a swimming loser. It's all good. Atleast my kids won't be. Can't wait to do it all again in a couple weeks!

Where was Ethan you ask? Between a tonsil/adenoidectomy and multiple scout camps he couldn't fit it into his social life. I'm sure next year it will get better! HA!
