Summer Swimming Lessons

Jessica, Alex and Logan just completed a 2-week swimming class. Alex and Logan took a class together and did very well. Logan is so confident in the water, which rubbed off on Alex too. I'm glad they were in the same class. I can now say that they are swimmers! They just need to work on their freestyle and backfloats so they can swim for longer periods of time. Jessica took a "stroke improvement" class and passed with flying colors!! She needs to continue practicing her diving so she can get better at it, especially since she's considering joining the swimming team in middle school. Then, this last Monday, the pool sponsored an evening family swim party for those who just completed the swim classes. We went to it for our FHE. We had a really fun time swimming together as a family.

They had to tread water for 10 minutes straight, using a variety of kicks

Julie, its so fun to see how your family is growing. We thought Logan's picture walking on water was fun! Congratulations on the 15th anniversary!
