Swimming Lessons 2012!

We had another great summer at swim lessons!  This is our 4th year to use Miss Kelsey.  She is AMAZING!  Super sweet with kids, and challenges them.  My kids have always been little fish from the get-go, so it's been great having them advance in their swimming at a young age.  

Here Treyson is working on floating on his back:

 Swimming across the pool to Miss Kelsey.  

 Working on his freestyle.  She added that stroke in this year since he mastered his swimming under water and being able to come up for air, then go back under again.

 So, Treyson's lessons were a HUGE success this year.  We are officially done with floaties for him (except for him wearing his lifejacket at the lake, obviously!)--WAHOO!!  He knows how to dive in the correct way, and every so often his dive is a belly buster--ouch!  

 Anniston started off the week perfecting her freestyle (3 strokes, then breathe to the side, 3 strokes, breathe to the side, etc).  She had that down on Monday, so Miss K jumped right into the breast stroke. Anniston now has that down--it's amazing!  So proud of her :)

 Here's the breathing to the side on freestyle:

 Floating on her back:

 Treading water:  Miss K worked with Anniston every day on treading water.  She had her treading for 3 minutes yesterday!  I was never taught how to properly tread, so I thought this was fantastic!

 Miss K was so proud of Anniston :)

 The kids worked so hard each day, so Miss K gave them "play time" on Friday.  They brought out the huge float to lay on ;)

Anniston and Treyson, 

We are so proud of how far you have come this summer with your swimming :)  You both worked so hard and listened so well to Miss Kelsey.  We can't wait to swim even more this summer so you can get better and better!

Love, Mommy and Dadoo
