Jump in, the water's fine!

Today the girls started the summer with swim lessons. Yes, they can already swim but we want them to be more confident and more proficient swimmers. Jasmine is in level 5 and Maya and Kiera are in level 4. They swim rain or shine unless it's lightning. It's been raining for 4 days now. Thank goodness the rain stopped during their lesson.

I was ready for Kiera to start calling quits before it even began. I was waiting for the stomach aches, the "I can't", "it's raining", "I don't want to do this". But it never came out of her mouth. Coach took them the the 8 ft. and said jump. WHOA! Now I'm scared. They hadn't swam since last season. And Maya and Kiera have never been in past 4 1/2 ft.

They jumped (actually did a cannonball)!!! And swam!!! Maya is a natural swimmer. Maybe I should get her on the team this year? Kiera surprised me and did really well. They always do better at something like that without me around. Jas can't swim in a straight line though. Everyone else has to watch out for her. But she'll get it with two more weeks of lessons left. I'll get some pics when the rain stops falling. Looks like that will be next week.
