We took swim lessons with Ms. Julie again this year... our 5th year in a row :) The girls worked on their dives, and they learned the breast stroke. They continued to work on their freestyle and back stroke. They also had to tread water for 2 minutes (she said by the end of summer they need to be able to do this for 6 minutes!!) She also showed them how to do a front flip off the diving board (gasp!). That trick needs a lot of work, though!
We talked about putting Caroline in the lessons, but Ms. Julie said since we don't have a pool in our backyard she'd wait until next summer. (If we had a pool then absolutely yes we should start her in lessons). However, Caroline is fearless and wants to do whatever the girls are doing, and you cannot take your eyes off her for even a millisecond. So, I might see if Ms. Julie has any openings this summer and, if so, I might start Caroline even though it will be a painful experience as I remember all too well with the girls!
