Swimming update

Today was the girls first time swimming as part of the school swim club. They did fantastic! I really couldn't be more proud of them. Sofia is swimming with kids who one and two years older than her and did great. Her coach had them swimming lengths of the pool for an hour. For the most part they swam the legnths holding a kickboard out in front of them or behind their heads if they were swimming on their backs. The last length though the coach sent them out without kickboards. Sofia swam half the length of the pool and then had to grab the lane line for a second. For the second half of the length she kept coming back to the lane line but it is still very impressive to me. I think I would have been grabbing the lane line after swimming as much as she did! Ali also swam the length of the pool with a kickboard but her coach had them swimming shorter distances and jumping into the pool. Ali was originally in a group with a lot of her friends but she was moved up one level and is now swimming with some kids her age and some kids who are a year older. Here are a couple videos I took today.
