SWIMMING DAY 4
OCTOBER 5, 2017
WHAT WE LEARNED TODAY
The big fun was when we all put on our life jackets and made huddle in the deep pool. Once everyone was huddled they turned on the bubbler which creates a strong current. The kids had to learn to swim against, through and around the current. They then were able to take turns jumping off the diving board. A few kids refused so they went and swam in the shallow pool with a coach.
Please review their certificates and note your child's swim level. The Westside Aquatic Center offers swim lessons and so do many other facilities around town. Please consider (especially this spring) putting your child in swim lessons and even on a swim team. A season or two on a swim team will prepare them to be strong swimmers in most any situation. We live in an area where there are pools in every other backyard, neighborhood pools and lots of lakes. The chance of your child being in and around water is very high, so consider how to best keep them safe.
It was a wonderful week of safety, lessons and fun. Thank you for all of your help with their bags, snacks and rest.
