William was advanced to the next level at swimming lessons. His new class is "Fundamentals of Swimming" level 4 and they will work on mastery of the following:
- Junior Freestyle
- Junior Backstroke
- Kid Butterfly
- Chop-Chop Timber (jump into water, swim to wall, get self out)
In level 3, "Flip to Breathe" he passed the following:
- Kid Freestyle
- Junior Breaststroke
- Humpty Dumpty with Breath (fall into water, flip to breathe, swim to wall, get self out)
We continue to be happy with the progress he is making in this continuous swimming lessons program. He has a good deal of confidence in the pool. Stamina is his weakness. We swam at the gym last week after tennis lessons and he was too tired and made some bad safety choices (i.e. he followed a friend into the deeper water and didn't have the energy to keep himself afloat). Luckily, mommy still recognizes his water safety issues and is always just an arm reach away even if he tries to ditch me. Guess there are advantages to traveling with your own lifeguard!
