Friday

Well, today is the last lesson of the year! It's been a wonderful summer of swimmers! Even though my lessons are over, summer temps are still around. Next week is supposed to be very nice so hope all you swimmers get out there and continue to use your swimming skills. See you all next summer. Look for my schedule to come out near end of February, first part of March. I'll post the date on this blog. Have a good year. Rosie

Thursday

Pretty chilly right now - only 57! At least the sun is out and the water is warm. Should be a good day.

Wednesday

Chilly and sunny to start with but should end up being a gorgeous day! Rain at night and sunny morning - couldn't be better for swimming lessons. Don't forget the sunscreen.

Tuesday

A beautiful, warm day shaping up - although a bit windy. Don't forget the sunscreen!

Monday

Wow, where has the summer gone! We start my final session of the year today. So far, forecast is for pleasant weather. The last swimmers of the year are Clayton, Rhett, Kaed, Kyan, and Spencer - one new swimmer - Eloise, sister of Henry. Welcome.

Friday

Last day of session 7 and looks like we may have lucked out with the weather. It'll be cool this morning but again the water is warm - and hopefully the rain holds off for a few more hours. This was a great week - watching a swimmer overcoming fear and getting in the water (and enjoying it), a swimmer learning humming actually keeps water out of the nose, and another swimmer making tremendous improvement with the breaststroke. I love how willing all these young swimmers are to keep trying despite swallowing water and feeling exhausted. Thanks kids - this is why I love teaching swimming!

Thursday

Beautiful sunny day for lessons although a little cool to start. Water is again 88 so we'll be fine. We say good-bye to Gabe, Edith and Lucy today as they have previous commitments for tomorrow - all three of you did very well!

Wednesday

Wow, only 57 degrees right now. Good thing - pool is 88! Don't forget the sunscreen again.

Tuesday

The weather certainly has been up and down this summer. We're back to cooler temps and a cool wind predicted for this afternoon. The pool, however, is toasty warm. It'll just be a little chilly getting out so be prepared. Sun is out also so don't forget the sunscreen.

Monday

Start of Session 7 - looks to be a cooler week coming up. Keep your fingers crossed that we can get this afternoon's lessons in - forecast is for possible storms. We have one new swimmer to our program this week - welcome Nathan. Returning swimmers are Sebastian, Boden, Edie, Joey, Spencer, Gabe, Edith, and Lucy - glad to have you back.

Friday

Session 6 comes to an end today. The swimmers have been wonderful - a little stormy, a little rain, and then lots of sun. Looks like today will be a great one - use the sunscreen!

Thursday

Another beautiful day to be in the pool! I posted a couple pictures sent to me by a parent - one is at the very bottom - Henry's favorite game "dunk it".

Wednesday

We got rained on again yesterday but looks like a different story today. Get out the sunscreen - should have sun all day!

Tuesday

Hold on to your suits - looks like we might have a bumpy ride today! Thunder and lightening will put us out of the pool - anything else we can swim through. Barely got through yesterday afternoon before we got another inch of rain. Didn't have a chance to get the furniture covered so parents might want to sit on an extra towel today.

Monday

First day of Session 6 - could be interesting. Depending on which weather report you listen to, we might or might not get some rain this morning. Afternoon is just supposed to be hot. Mostly repeaters this session. Welcome back to Eli, Teagan, Stone, Brady, Charlie, Henry and Jake. Also glad to have newcomers Greta and Gavin.
