H had another swim lesson last night. Let me just say, she is working her tushy off!! The girl teaching her the lessons has reviewed with her all the little tidbits of her strokes that she had previously learned, but forgotten. For example, when doing the freestyle, stroke three times, then breath. Or, when doing the backstroke, be sure to flip your hands over when they come out of the water. They practice going back and forth the entire length of the pool, which is helping her build her endurance. We go for another lesson Thursday evening at 6:30. As long as H is up for it, we can keep doing lessons all summer.
The girl giving the lessons has given lessons to a neighbor's child as well. I was chatting with her before the lesson on Sunday and she said she's a senior in high school trying to get in at Westpoint! Um, hello?!? That says a lot, I think. :) She wants to be on their swim team.
