Swimming Lessons

We finally finished our 4 weeks of swimming lessons and have emurged as great swimmers with pretty good tans. Mrs Eggett is the best teacher ever and we even get to go back to her pool in the afternoon for free swim time.



Lydia is a super front crawler, complete with side breathing, and does pretty good on her back crawl too. We call her Nemo because her left arm is a little weak. Her favorite thing to do is dive for sea horses at the bottom of the pool "even in the way deep water" and then swim to the side. She can cannon ball or dive from one knee off the diving board and then swim clear to the other end of the pool. She is definatly part fish and would stay in the water all day if she could. But she is also very obedient and always gets out on the first time asked - maybe because her tummy is growling.

Lexis is a great swimmer too. She can swim the arrow, bob, jump in from the side or the diving board, dive for sea horse at the bottom of the pool, and float on her back. You can't help but smile and laugh when you watch her because she has a HUGE smile on her face every time she comes out of the water. Her favorite thing to do is go down the slide and swim to the steps. She did a really good job at focusing and listening to her teacher.
