Our Little Fish

Lillian has completed her last swim lesson until the new year and Madison has completed her first season of swim team.
Both girls loved being in the water and are quite the little fish.

Lillian's goal was to become water safe. We wanted her to be able to jump off the side of the pool and get herself back to the wall.

Success!!!!!

 Doing it again.
Here she jumps
 And back to the wall.
 She loved to practice kicks with the bar
 Across and back
 Another jump (always a reward for listening and following Miss Amy's instructions)
 Time to float
 What progress she has made... she can float on her own and for a long time :)
(if you can get her to relax and stay still)

 I think her favorite part was using the kick board to practice floating and kicking on her back.
She would often tell her teacher, "No, I can do it"

Madison loved swim team and is looking forward to the winter season. The once a month meets worked well for our busy schedules and everyone was able to make it to at least one.
 Before each race, the kids are lined up in lane order
 Heading to their lanes

 And they are off...
 Madison has improved her time at each meet. She has taken off 15 seconds from her first Free Style stroke time since the beginning of the season.


We are so proud of our girls. Well done!
