Caitlin has been taking swimming classes for the past year and can now swim on her own! This was something we made a priority since it's a very important skill to have, plus she will be going in the pool everyday with her camp during the summer. We enrolled her in the Olympic way courses and it was literally sink or swim since they started off in the deep end right away! I'm so proud of her, she toughed it out even though it was hard sometimes and she wanted to quit, but now she's a great swimmer and so confident!
We have such a great pool in our area and this session we were able to get a later class for Caitie and enjoy the leisure pool with Maddie during her class. Caitlin was also so happy to end up with one of her friend's sister in her class. Her friend Austin wasn't ready to take the pludge into classes yet so they enjoyed playing together in the leisure pool after class as well, these made for great Tuesday nights and they had so much fun! Next year Maddie will start classes as well since they only start them at 5 at that level. I'm confident she will be fine since she loves the water and doesn't seem to be afraid, although time will tell!
