This Summer the kids participated in swimming lessons once again.  Samantha continued in level 5 to perfect her front crawl and other strokes.  She also spent a lot of time in the deep end swimming laps.  She also worked on and pretty much perfected her diving this summer, beginning in swimming lessons.

Blake officially started swimming lessons this year in level 1.  He had a bit of trouble at the beginning getting his nose, head and face wet but after a bit of work with daddy and a face mask, he made huge strides!  He was proud of himself and so were we!

We celebrated completing swimming lessons with a DQ at the end of the week.

Samantha worked on her diving so much and tried other things that she was doing back flips off of the diving board.  One time didn't work so well and she hit the diving board with her face.  She bruised up a bit across her nose to her lower left eye but we were so thankful it wasn't any worse!

Here you can hardly see where she hit the diving board.
