Addie's been taking swimming lessons and loving them! After having spring break off, the new spring session starts this week. She was always fearless in the water and now she has a few skills to use in the water. She can float on her back by herself and is pretty good swimming the backstroke. She does great with her sitting and kneeling dive, jumps readily into the water (never a problem but at least now she waits until she's told she is allowed to), holds her breath really well (pool and bathtub skill apparently)and can do a pretty good breast stroke and freestyle. This next session Mr. Anthony's goal is to get her breathing coordinated with her stroke so she can swim greater distances - not just as far as her breath will hold out!! Addie is our little fish and Nora practices her skills in the tub with her sister (she sometimes goes to class with us and watches). Can't wait to have her in the water this summer too!
