Friday

My fingers are crossed that we can get all lessons in today. Things look spotty so hoping for the best. Check back if weather doesn't look good.

Lessons learned

This treading is brutal!

You need to let go of the wall!

Thursday

Doesn't look like any weather problems today. I'm a little worried about tomorrow. If things are not good tomorrow, could you let me know if Monday would work as a back up. I don't have lessons next week and my company doesn't begin arriving till late afternoon on Monday. Front crawl testing for those levels requiring it.

Wednesday

No rain yesterday - everything stayed north. Clouds and cool this morning but pool is a warm 90 degrees! Treading test today for those levels requiring it.

Tuesday

Sunny start but possible storms popping up this afternoon. Check back here if you have a question.

Monday

Looks like a beautiful day for the start of session 3. Congratulations Kylie and Sam for passing Eels last week and now members of the Wall of Fame. We have one new swimmer to my program this week - welcome Henry V. There are 4 swimmers working on advanced skills this week, Henry D. , Kylie, Joey and Lauren. Other swimmers this week are Owen, Eloise, Lindsey, Elizabeth, and Grace.

Friday

Well at least the sun is trying to come out. Swimmers, be ready to work hard. We have to try and make up for missing yesterday. You can do it!

Thursday 4

This just isn't working. Too many red cells popping up. I'm canceling for the rest of the morning

Thursday 3

Ok, Kylie. I'm heading out again. Fingers and toes crossed!

Thursday 2

It's thundering again and coming from faribault so sorry Sam. We'll have to cancel. Eli, I will post again at 9:15.

Thursda

It is going to be a soggy start for sure. If no more thunder we will continue to swim. I am not uncovering my furniture but there are 2 chairs you can wipe off if wet. Fingers crossed, I'm heading out!

Wednesday

Sorry I missed posting yesterday. The pool was such a mess from the Monday night storms I had to start cleaning at 7:00. Cloudy start today but hopefully we can get lessons in this morning. Treading water test for the levels requiring it.

Monday

Session 2 begins today - nice sunny start. Forecast is for unsettled weather so be sure and check here if in doubt. Again, unless there is thunder, we will probably be swimming. Swimmers this week are Sam, Eli, Kylie, Ella, Jackson and for the first time little brother Ben. He's watched lessons for 2 years so I'm betting he'll do well!  Congratulations to Rodin and Lucia for passing Eels and making the Wall of Fame. I have company this week so am only teaching in the morning. I have 2 special students in the afternoon, my nephews Carter and Evan.

Friday

Last day of session one. Going to start out cool but the sun is out!  Had a great group of swimmers this first week!

Thursday

Chilly day today. Bring something to put on when you get out. Front crawl testing for those levels requiring it.

Wednesday

This is a new toy that can be used during free swim time.  Here are Gavin and Greta trying to unseat one another.
Supposed to be a decent day today, partly cloudy for the morning.  Forecast includes storms for tonight into tomorrow morning.  Be sure and check here for updates or cancellations.

Tuesday

Despite the clouds and chilly temps yesterday, we made it through the first day of lessons.  Today looks to be much better weather wise. Sunscreen!

Monday #2

Unless we get stormy weather, it is a go for lessons

Monday

I've been teaching swimming in my pool for about 14 years and I believe this is the first time that the first morning of session is in jeopardy because of rain. Hopefully it will slide by. Check back here before heading out. Swimmers for session one are Jake, Addie, Nolan, Rodin, Clara, Josh, Logan, Rachel, Samantha, Ben, Anna coming for a little advanced work since she is already on my Wall of Fame, Lucia, Darby, Lizzy, Vivian, Greta, Gavin, Mia, and coming for the first time Etta.
