Week 7 of lessons

Ashlyn had her final swimming lesson today!  This week she had to be “tested” in various seasons of clothing starting with lightweight summer clothes, then fall clothes (long sleeved shirt, jeans and sneakers) and then winter clothes (fall clothes + a hoodie and jacket!).  She did awesome!  Her teacher said she was above average for her age.  Most kids her age require 35-40 lessons before they learn the swim/float/swim sequence.  Ashlyn did it in 30!  She also said she would like to use her for an ISR video because she is “textbook”!  Go Ashlyn!  We have 2 make up lessons that we will use in the next couple of weeks where Mrs. Sheri will show me what to do with Ashlyn in the pool to keep her skills up until next summer.  She also recommended a few refresher lessons early next season.  It was quite a challenge getting both kids up, fed, dressed and loaded up to drive 25 minutes each way for a 10 minute lesson every day for 30 lessons!  But I am VERY glad we did it and it gives me a little peace of mind having Ashlyn around water and I think she will love swimming next summer!  Here are some pictures and her video from her final week of lessons.
