First Day of Swimming


We had a fun AND eventful first day of swimming!  The students started out by testing their swimming ability.  Half were placed into the shallow end and half in the deep end.  The students in the shallow end focus on basic swimming skills like kicking their feet, bobbing up and down, and increasing their comfort in the water.  The students in the deep end focus on learning new swimming strokes and other advanced swimming techniques.  The students also get FREE time if they follow directions and have a great day.  Some of the students used the free time to jump off the diving board!

The eventful situation came at the end of swimming when we were ready to leave the pool on the bus.  We were all ready to go when the bus would not start.  We waited a short fifteen minutes for another bus to arrive.  I appreciate the students' flexibility!  Below is a link to the letter that the swimming teacher would like all parents to read.


 

Thank you Sasha for the fabulous PHOTO-BOMB!
