We’re just back from the last day of summer swimming lessons. I signed the kids up for a class that ran every morning for the first two weeks of July and hope to get out to a pool as a family to get in some more practice. And we do need practice.
We’re not an aquatic people. My brother said that when he was taking swimming lessons some kids would pass the level and move on and some would have to repeat it. But he was the only kid who ever had to move down a level. Let’s just say that he has some company in that department now and leave it at that.
But not today! Nobody was demoted a level today! (Nobody passed either, but we’ll take our victories where we find them.) Both kids continued to get more comfortable in the water and I saw some definite improvement. That’s good enough for me.
And now I can finally stop waking up and rushing everybody out the door every morning. Sheesh. It’s supposed to be summer.
