Swim Lessons

We are in the throws of our 2 weeks of swim lessons, and it is going great. I opted to drive to Bryan for lessons this summer since I have always heard their lessons are better. Plus they offered the more advanced levels so that Allia and Mariana could take lessons too this year. I have not been disappointed. And the drive is really only an extra 5 minutes, so it is totally worth it!

Allia is really enjoying her level 6 class. She is swimming really well and getting some great tips from her teacher.

 I mistakenly enrolled Anastasia in Preschool 1 since she has never been in lessons before even though she swims like a little fish. For some reason, the teachers refuse to move her to a higher level, even though I have talked to them several times because it is obvious to me that she needs to move up. Oh, well. :/ At least she is having fun even if I am a little frustrated!

Gloria is super happy. She loves her teacher (I have to admit he is pretty great), and her whole class is girls!

 Mariana missed the second day of lessons due to a one day 4H camp. Then, she got sick in the car on the way home from the camp and had to miss the next day. Poor girl! But she was back in there today, just a little weak. Hopefully she can build her strength back up and keep learning. She has a great teacher!

 Stephen actually moved down a level after the first day. He was so terrified of not being able to reach the bottom of the pool (even though he actually can, it is just a little deeper than our regular pool). Silly guy! He is doing great in his new class, though!
