End of swim lessons

Ashley was so excited that she got to move onto the big kids swim lessons. Levels 1-4 classes are 30 minutes long and for 2 weeks. Level 5-6 classes are for an hour and only a week (these are the big kid classes). Ashley has been a little fish and done great at swim lesson. Madison did all the driving this week (I love teenage drivers) and I was able to stay home to work on homework. Every day I would ask Ashley how she did and got mixed reviews each day. Today the last day I went with them to see how Ashley was doing and talk to Christine. On the way there Ashley was sure that she would not advance to Level 6. I didn't think much of it because it is normal for kids to do a level twice. She was bummed because she was sure Kinnlie would move on and there was no way they would be in the same class next year. She struggles a little with her dive and has belly flopped many times this week but I know that is not a huge deal until level 6. She dove in the first time and it didn't look that bad. She just needs to remember to keep her chin tucked. It is hard because kids want tot see the water and with your chin tucked it is a blind entry. She did a few more dives and and had the same problem but Madison did say they had improved from the beginning of the week. I watched her swim her strokes and they looked alright. I wasn't sure if she would advance but when Christine came and talked to me she said that she looked good so she could go either way. Ashley was so excited that there is a possibility that Kinnlie and her could be in the same class next year since they both can advance.

If you ask Ashley this might be the best year of swim lessons according to Ashley.
