Swimming Lessons

Yesterday was the last day of swimming lessons for Ethan and Courtney. Both are pretty sad because they love to swim and it's been the highlight of the past two weeks. I told Ethan that he could join a swim team that would practice 4 days a week and he said, "What?!?! Two days without swimming?!?!" He's a little fish and Courtney is trying her hardest to catch up to him. They both passed their levels with flying colors (it was even the first time in the class for Ethan).

Last month Ethan took the Advanced Class and Courtney took the Beginner class. This month Courtney repeated the Beginner and was a pro at it. She doubled the amount of time she could stay under water and even got her American Crawl stroke looking better. She is really feeling comfortable in the water, which is good and bad. Sometimes she forgets that she isn't really a mermaid!

Ethan moved to the Swimmer class (it was supposed to be Advanced but she switched it based on the abilities of the kids who signed up) which is a life guarding basics class. Ethan's class didn't work on strokes as much as they worked on how to life guard. He loved it. He was the youngest in his class but wasn't a bit behind.
