Swimming

Waiting ...


















At the beginning of the summer we joined the Clemson Outdoor Swimming Pool. This was the best thing I ever did for myself, my sanity and the kids. We have gone more days from 10-12 and then spent a quiet afternoon at home. They hadlessons for 2 weeks and improved exponentially. After a 2 week lay off we will be back to lessons next week - which means an 8 o'clock start in the pool. The pool is wonderfully organized- everyone swims for 45 minutes, then all the children get out and have snacks and it's adult swim for 15 minutes. This enforced break makes it very easy to leave with children who do not always want to go.









Chloe has made great strides and graduated from Level 3 - she has a fabulous natural stroke. James went from being a clinging limpit, to being an accomplished diver. He is working hard on swimming on his back so he can skip level 2 and go straight to level 3.
