Thursday

As the weather man just said - today will be a carbon copy of yesterday. Front crawl testing for those levels needing it.

Wednesday

Another beautiful day coming up. Treading test for those levels needing it.

Monday

Sounds like it should be a great week for session 7. I have 2 advanced swimmers - Henry and Rodin - both already on my wall of fame. All the other swimmers are also returners - Eloise, Clara, Josh, Andrew, Michael, Brady, Grace and Caden.

Friday

Just the way I like the day to start! Almost an inch of much needed rain that ended before we start lessons. Probably a little cool this morning but the end of the day as well as the end of the session should end beautifully!

Thursday

Cool start to the day but still perfect swimming weather. SUNSCREEN

Wednesday

Wonderful day for swimming. Treading test for those levels needing it.

Tuesday

What a strange day. It was 81 degrees when I got up at 5:00. Now down to 79. Sun is trying to come out. Should be another great day for the pool.

Monday

Wow! What a difference in the weather for the start of session 6. In the 90's with heat indices in the 100's. What a great time to be in the water. I have 4 swimmers new to my school - welcome Nolan T. and Seth - also, Lauren and Mia are following their big brothers for their first lessons. Lucia is coming for advanced lessons along with sisters Darby, Lizzy, and Vivian. Also returning this week for further lessons are Grady, Claire, Jake, Nolan F., Addie, Luke, Olivia, Sophia, Greta, Sam, John, and Joe.
SUNSCREEN!

Friday

The sun is supposed to be strong today. A little slow coming out though. We've had 21 hard working swimmers this week. Started with cold weather but should end warm. Thanks to Cameron and Daniel for their excellent help while Tom was unavailable.

Thursday

Another beautiful day for the pool. Sun screen for sure! Front crawl testing for those levels needing it.

Wednesday

Things are looking up weather wise. Sun screen today. Treading test for those levels requiring it.

Tuesday

We made it through a very chilly Monday. Still cool this morning but forecast is certainly looking up.

Monday

Going to be a chilly start to session 5. The water is warm tho. Have something warm to put on when you climb out. This is a semi-private week so there will be lots of swimmers jumping in the pool. Congratulations to Gabe for passing Eels last week and making the Wall of  Fame. He also returns this week for some advanced work. Henry will also be doing advanced work. Other swimmers this week are Eloise, Sebastian, Boden, AJ, Ashley, Ethan, Olivia, Lucy, Millie, Edie, Ben, Jonathan, Mary, Grady, Claire, Greta, Gavin, Eli, and Liam.  I'll be working with 3 different helpers this week, Cameron, Daniel and Tom. All are graduates of my program.

Friday

Thursday

Looks like it will be a great day in the pool. Sunscreen for sure. Front crawl testing for those levels requiring it.

Wednesday

Yesterday was very unusual. I had a cortisone shot in a joint near my spine. It was an early appt so thought lessons wouldn't be a problem. Found out after the injection that I couldn't be in the pool for 24 hours. The injection left an open portal for infection to enter my spinal area. So I scrambled to find help for in the water and I instructed from the deck. Took me back to the old days when I instructed for Red Cross with 10-20 kids in a class. All instruction was from the deck. I really wonder how any of us learned to swim! All is back to normal!
Also, I am still receiving requests for lessons this summer. I am full but if I get an address, I can add that to my mailing list. I will send schedules out end of February but I usually fill up in 2-3 weeks.

Monday

A beautiful sunny start to session 4. All swimmers are returners to my school. Sam and Eli will be doing advanced work since they are on my Wall of Fame. Other swimmers this week are Gabe in Eels, Ben in Bluegills, Ella in Dolphins, Jackson in Crayfish, another Ben in Watertots, Sebastian in Eels, Boden in Dolphins, and Elizabeth in Crayfish. See you in the pool!
