My Little Fish

Arabella is having a great Summer with her swim lessons. It took her a bit of time to figure out the way that her new lessons are taught...there are minor differences in the way the class is structured and some of how the skills are taught versus what she is used to in Montreal, but all that aside, she caught on quick and is doing AMAZING!! For her first session, she was in a mixed class with a few kids that were not at the same level so she was a bit bored in the class. But that allowed her to get adjusted. Now for this session, she is in a mixed class again, but this time around she is the youngest one and is catching up quickly to the older kids. And this time the class is 4 mornings a week for 40 minutes. It wipes her out, but she is kicking butt. She is hanging with the older kids and her teachers are so impressed with the job she is doing. I actually really, really, really like her instructors - they are great - they give great feedback during the class and are super supportive. So she is thriving in this session. She has one more week to go and we will see what they say on Thursday and what level they want her in. In the meantime, I am so very proud of her. She saw the whole length of the pool freestyle and her backstroke is super strong. Keep it up my little fish!
Working on her kicks and her stroke.
Max loves watching her lessons...hopefully he will follow in her footsteps!
Yup, that is her backstroke! Looking good!
