Abby, Zoë and Enzo

Today was the first day of level 3 swim lessons for Zoë and Abby.  What with all of the rain we've been having, and the fact that it was a cool overcast morning, the water was anything but warm.  Today there was only one other child in the class with Zoë and Abby, also named Abby.  There were a couple of times that I doubted my putting them into level three, but at the end Brooke said that they were doing a great job and that they were suited just fine for this level.

Today was mostly a test it seemed.  Brooke checked to see how they could do their glides, front crawl, and back stroke.  They used kick boards to go across (width ways) the pool and back and practiced using the kick boards on their backs as well.  Noodles were also used, working on form for front and back swimming.  The end of the lesson was to dive down to get a sinker toy, but none of the three were thrilled with the idea of diving down into the water, they were all so cold.  Brooke ended up holding the diver toy halfway between the surface of the water and the pool bottom and everyone did well dunking under to get it then.
