Swimming Lessons 103 - Session 5

During this week of swimming lessons Carly swam with just her bubble on across the width of a racing lane 3.5 times. One of the times the kids were supposed to swim the width of the lane to the wall, knock down the water aerobics weights that were lined up like bowling pins, and then swim back. While Carly was half way across the lane, with me holding her waist, the instructor told me to let go and see what happened - she kept going, knocked over the pins, and then pushed off the wall to swim back! The next time she swam the width of the lane it was to crawl along the wall for about 4 yards to knock down the weights that were now equally spaced out before swimming back to her friends.

Carly only has three more swimming sessions, hopefully she will continue to become more and more independent - hopefully doing a few yards without a bubble.

(Note, the bubble just prevents her from sinking not drowning.)
