We had the best day swimming yesterday. Today should be even better. As we begin to realize that summer swim days are beginning to be few, the children are really beginning to really swim. We had so many graduates yesterday: Logan, Giovanni, Addie, Delissa all joined the swimmers in the deep end. This is our first step toward swimming. When a child can swim underwater, can paddle and keep themselves afloat, we encourage them to jump into the deeper end and then paddle back to the side of the pool. The become more and more relaxed doing this, and then they are suddenly ready to swim the length it takes to go off the board.
Yesterday, Eli, Jackson, Matthew all went off the board. That means these little guys have gone from floundering around worrying about getting water in their faces to really swimming.
Today I have great things in store for Giovanni.
