My Little Fish

My 3 little fish had their last swim test of the summer today. Caden had to repeat level 3 because he couldn't do the elementary backstroke without going underwater during the last test. Today, he totally rocked his backstroke halfway across the pool. I'm so proud. He'll start out in level 4 next summer. Jaelyn did awesome. She passed her test and will move on to level 5 next summer. For someone who wouldn't put her face in the water 14 months ago, she's come a long way. Allie had the hardest test to pass level 5. She had to do every stroke 25 meters (1 length of the pool) and do her front crawl 50 metes (down, flip turn and back). She also had to tread water for 2 minutes. She did everything perfectly and then fizzled out on her front crawl. She made it 25 meters and stopped. She was exhausted and wouldn't push herself to finish, which is fine. I'm really proud of how well she's done.

We have 2 weeks left to enjoy the pool before summer ends!
