Swimming

This week it seems like my girls have broken through their plateaus with swimming. Scout has been moved up to the Piranha's class at the 10 foot deep end of the pool. She has become a much better swimmer since being forced to swim or half drown.

Grace is eager to catch up to Scout and be put in the Piranha's class also so she has been trying like crazy. Jan said she needed to keep her knees together when kicking and all week has been working on it. Today she got it. She is especially good at the butterfly. Jan said it looks like that's going to be her stroke.

Abi has started swimming on her back by herself, doing chicken-airplane-soldier and moving all over the pool. Today she also started doing freestyle herself with the ball tied to her to keep her bum from sinking.

Next week the older girls are going to take the side breathing class and hopefully by the end of the week they will have that down. Then there will be nothing stopping them!

In non-swimming news, Max is completely weaned now and is much less grumpy now that I have just stopped. We are also looking forward to Jared getting back from his work trip to LA.
