Last night was the last swim lesson! Yay for me! The girls were sad, though. They love swim lessons.

Unfortunately, neither of them passed. What that means is that if we were to sign up again, they would have to be in Level 1 and can't go on to Level 2. Alpha was so close! All she couldn't do was float on her back for 3 seconds. Jim tried to help her before we left, but she's way too tense. (Kinda like her momma...)



Beta was really too young to be in this class. I'm glad they let her try it, so she could be with Alpha, but I think we'll wait until she's 5 or so to try again. Unless she just insists on lessons next summer. I think our best bet at this point is just to go to the pool a lot and practice on our own.





Our pool is indoor and open year round. So maybe we can keep swimming even after school starts. I hope I can take the girls more before summer is over, though. They need the practice while it's fresh on their minds. Alpha especially, is really excited about swimming. She even swam for 3 seconds!

Both girls have made tons of progress over the 2 weeks and LOTS OF TONS of progress since last summer, when neither one would go into water above their waists. Maybe with lots of practice and patience, they'll accomplish what their old ma and pa couldn't.
