Swimming Lessons

Auggie successfully transitioned to yet another swim teacher at Swimtastic.  The winter session was a bit of a disappointment as the teacher, Mr. Ryan, was not challenging enough-to the point where Auggie's hair was frequently dry at the end of session!  I am very satisfied with his latest teacher, Miss Chantelle.  We're only three sessions in and I can already see the difference: swim goggles in place, lots of underwater swimming and no coddling!  In short, Auggie has been exhausted after each lesson.

Miss Chantelle does a great job of balancing business and pleasure-very animated and very firm when necessary.

I left swimming lessons today feeling really good that we've stuck with it.  I'm seeing progress and am hopeful that we'll have a great summer swimming at Wirth park.
