My kiddos are becoming quite the little swimmers. Luke is swimming freestyle all the way across the pool... 25 meters. It isn't the prettiest, and he still needs to work on breathing to the side, but that is a very hard comcept that many adults can't even do! He is doing awesome. I'm so proud. :) He is also swimming backstroke. He can't quite go half the length backstroke yet, but if we could straighten it out he probably could. He is doing so well!! What is so amazing is how far he can swim without taking a breath. He probably swim 10 meters under water without breathing... that's really long for a kids his age. I am so impressed with him. I think he will for sure be ready for swim team next year... if he wants. :) He is also going off the diving board.... that took some pressure from his little sister. Once he saw her going off ALL BY HERSELF, he decided he had better do it as well. And he did and he now loves it. We went up to the pool just yesterday and the kids spend an hour just going off the diving board over and over and over again. I loved watching them!
Here is Luke going off the board and his friend Shelby about jumping on top of him.
Emma is also doing quite well. She has a really great kick and she is dog paddling as well. If I could just get her to take her swimmies off, I think she would be dogpaddling enough to keep head above the water. She LOVES swimming. She is sticking her head in the water and paddling around. So cute. She also swims her own version of butterfly with her swimmies on. Cute. She is going off the diving board all by herself and swimming to the side. She loves it and I love watching her!
Here's Miss Emma jumping off the board.
I hate that Luke goes back to school in 2 weeks... crazy!! I feel like summer just started. I will miss our pool time and watching my little swimmers.
