Little Fish

I did a lot of swimming while I was in Florida for vacation. Last year I had to be coaxed into the pool and this year my parents sometimes had a hard time getting me to get out of the pool! I've been in swim lessons since September and I think mom feels like it has all been money well spent.

I went back to swim class today and TA DA! I earned my latest ribbon!

To earn this ribbon I had to learn how to do the following:

- swim comfortably with three breaths, consistently (with fins)
- sit jumps from wall, and back again (unassisted)
- retrieve rings from the bottom of the pool with assistance (about 3 1/2 feet deep)
- float on back for 10 seconds
- comfortably float on stomach for 5 seconds

My teacher told mom that she could really see that I'd been doing a lot of practice. It's a good thing I had fun while doing it!
