Swimming Fools!

The kids are on spring break this week so I enrolled them in a spring break swim intensive where they have class everyday but Tuesday. Today was the first and their teacher was the owner/founder of the swim school (who was Parker's first teacher 2 years ago) and they all did fantastic. Elizabeth and Miranda were incredible, jumping in and swimming to the platform over and over. They are obviously more advanced than the level they are in now, but she just adjusted things for them and kept them easier for the only other kid in their class.

For Parker she moved the platform far away so he had to swim 3/4 of the pool to get to it. She would make him (and one other kid) swim freestyle over and then backstroke back. Over and over. That boy was tired. And he is really mastering the flip turn now.

I could pull them all out of classes now since I feel really good about them not drowning if they fell in a pool, but since they are all so great at it, I feel like I should keep them in and let them excel even more.
