Swim Lessons Level 1

Sam finished his first 2 week swim class last Friday at the swim club we belong to, Twin Rivers. Sam loves to be underwater, but he impressed his parents with his ability to sit and wait his turn, and his desire to please his teachers by doing what they asked. We love the swim teachers, they take so much interest in each child, and dole out an abundance of "high 5's" in every class, for even the least attempt to do what they ask. After an especially well done task, there might even be the "double High 5."

You might remember last year that Sam persuaded his teacher to let him jump off the diving board. This year on the last class day, after the kids had a chance to pass all of their tests, they got to jump off the board. His teacher Carrie helped him off the board, but I think he would have done it all by himself if given the chance. Sam passed all of the requirements of level 1, and has now begun the Level 2 classes this week. More level 2 pictures to follow!
