Safety Before Skill Swim School

Sydney has completed 3 Terms of swim school and I am really happy with the safety (and swimming skills) that she has learned. This is Coach Talia and she is amazing with kiddos!
She loves swimming all by herself with noodles while practicing her "kickers and diggers"
Swimming to the wall, always focusing on saying "When you fall, you reach for the wall", practicing holding onto the side, and scooting with her hands to either a ladder or steps.

She is so proud of her accomplishments!
Sydney's favorite- jumping into deep water and practicing swimming up and floating onto her back when she comes up


Of course I pray we never have to use these skills, but being a pool, beach and lake loving family, I know it has been great practice. We will take a little break over the summer and then plan on starting back lessons in the fall and spring. Yikes- then I will have a newborn to take along too!!!!
