Saturday

This will be the last post of the summer. Finished my last session yesterday despite the threat of storms. Congratulations to Btayden for passing Eels and making the Wall of Fame. Also thanks to all my fabulous swimmers for working so hard and to all parents for their continued support. Look for the 2017 schedule in late February.

Friday

We might get light rain yet this morning but as long as there's no thunder, we will go ahead with lessons. Those of us in the water will be fine - on the deck, not so much. Chairs might be wet so bring extra towels and an umbrella.

Thursday

Sun is out now but forecast is for storms moving in this afternoon. This is earlier than predicted so have my fingers crossed for tomorrow. Front crawl testing today for those levels requiring it.

Wednesday

Rain over night, sun shining this morning. Couldn't ask for anything better. Treading test today for those levels requiring it.

Tuesday

Day 2 and we will have clouds. Hoping forecast is right and storms hold off till later today

Monday

Session 9 begins today which is the last session for this summer. New swimmers this week are Brooke, Talia, and Micah. Returning are Haakon, Boden, and Brayden. Congratulations to Sam who passed Eels last week and is now in the Wall of Fame

Friday

End of session 8 and we might not see the sun. Could get rain but hope it doesn't include thunder.

Thursday

2 and 3/4 inches of rain over night. Looks like it has ended for awhile. Fingers crossed that we can get everything in today. Front crawl testing today for those levels requiring it.

Wednesday

It wasn't supposed to rain yesterday but it did. We made it through anyway. Now today should be hot. Storms are forecast for tonight and may carry over to morning. Be sure and check here for status of lessons. Treading test today for those levels requiring it.

Another great day for the pool. Sunscreen please.

Friday

What a beautiful day for the end of session 7. Great job swimmers for working through the unsettled weather yesterday.

Thursday #3

I'll try and continue lessons the rest of the afternoon. If weather changes, we will have to get out fast

Thursday #2

There's too much thunder around us yet so I am canceling the 1:00 lesson. Hopefully 1:30 will be a go

Thursday

Things could be tough today. Thunderstorms moving this way. Hoping they will break up but if not, I will post as soon as possible of any changes. Front crawl testing today for those levels requiring it.

Wednesday

It's a hot one today! Perfect for the pool. Treading test for those levels requiring it.

Tuesday

So far, the storms have bypassed us. Keep your fingers crossed for the rest of the day.

Monday

Today starts session 7. We have 2 new swimmers - Grayson and Yair - welcome. Returning for another lesson this week are Max, Eli, Ella, Lucy, Edie, Millie, Hannah, and Sydney. Congratulations to Mia who passed Eels last week and made it to the Wall of Fame. Weather today should be great - however storms are predicted over night and may carry into the morning. Hope it ends early.

July 30 #2

Sorry. Times are 9:30 and 10:00

July 30

I just got 2 cancellations for this coming week - 9:30 and 10:30. This is a private week so it would be one swimmer each half hour.

Friday

End of session 6 and it looks like it will be a beautiful day.

Thursday

Looks like it will be cloudy and cool for today. So far, no storms predicted. The water is warm but swimmers will probably be cold getting out. Front crawl testing today for those levels requiring it.

Wednesday

A little cooler and cloudier for today and hope forecast is correct and rain holds off till after 3:00. Treading test today for those levels requiring it.

Tuesday

Looks like another beautiful day for lessons.

Monday

Session 6 starts today. All returning swimmers - Ben, Jackson, Cully, Noah, Isaac, Hannah, Mia, Josh, Emma, and Logan. Weather wise, looks like the first two days will be sunny and warm. The rest of the week could see pop up storms.

Friday

End of session 5 today. Crazy week with weather but my swimmers have been real troopers. Lots of sun - sunscreen!

Thursday

Way too exciting morning yesterday. A day when I didn't expect any stormy weather, we had to interrupt lessons twice for thunder. Hoping today will be calmer. Front crawl testing for those levels requiring it.

Wednesday

Forecasters said storms yesterday and last night but we got nothing. Good for lessons. I don't think they will be wrong about the heat. That is good for lessons too. Treading test today for those levels requiring it.

Tuesday

Oh oh! We may be dodging thunder storms this morning. If that happens, I may have to shorten a lesson or send you home if I don't have time to get back here. We'll do our best.

Monday

First of all, congratulations to the newest members of my Wall of Fame - Lizzy, Boden, Elizabeth, Lucy, and Nolan - all having passed Eels last week. So we are starting Session 5 today, my last semi private lessons for this summer. Returning swimmers are - Jake, Nolan, Addie, AJ, Ashley, Andrew, Jacob, Nicholas, Emma, and Logan.  New to my program are - Whitney, Estelle, Eileen, Jackson, Trevor V., Trevor N., Emmerson, and Keeton. Welcome. Forecast is setting up for a hot week which is good for those in the water but not those watching from the deck.

Friday

The end of session 4 -great group of swimmers. A little rain last night but the forecast is for warming weather. I forgot to congratulate the new wall of fame members from session 3. Clara, Ben, Ahnika, and Grace. Good job!

Thursday

Cooler today but thankfully no storms predicted. We had hail yesterday but the 2 kids scheduled that time were able to return from cannon falls and we made it up. So no missed lessons. Front crawl test today for those requiring it.

Wednesday #3

No 10:30 lesson. Stay tuned for the 11:00

Wednesday #2

Had to cancel the 10:00. We'll see how fast this moves for the 10:30

Wednesday

Lots of sun to start but forecast is for thunderstorms around noon. It could stay south of us which I hope is what happens. Check back if you are unsure. I'll post changes as soon as possible. Treading test for those levels needing it.

Tuesday

Beautiful day coming up.

Thursday #3

I'm going to cancel the 1:00 and 1:30. Sorry Caden and Kayla.  Still will try and get the 2:00 in - at this time anyway

Thursday #2

So far good timing. The storm is headed for faribault so we should be good for awhile.

Thursday

Forecast says we should be ok this morning. However, I was just outside and heard thunder to the north. Looking on radar, it popped up quickly over lakeville. So stay tuned.

Wednesday

Beautiful today. Forecast for tomorrow is not so good. Just hope it's wrong. Treading test today for those levels requiring it.

Tuesday

Sun is out, low wind, warm water. Cool start but looks like a great day.

Monday

Today we start session 3. The forecast says we'll have increasing clouds and wind so I don't think it will be very pleasant getting out of the water. Water temp is 90 so nice in it. Swimmers this week are Clara, Ben, Ahnika, Eli and sister Ella for first time, Caden and sister Kayla for the first time, Grace and Ben. New to my program is Preston - welcome.

Friday

We survived the coolest day in the pool so far and today is starting off gorgeous. Last day of this session. Bring out the sunscreen.

Thursday

Pretty chilly this morning. Water is warm but getting out will be cold. Have something to put on.

Wednesday

So far so good. There might be a few showers but if no thunder we'll continue. Check back here if you aren't sure. I'll repost if things change. Treading test today for those levels requiring it.

Tuesday

A little cool this morning but the temp will be rising steadily. Water is warm so should be a good day.

Monday

Today starts session 2. Forecast is great for the day so don't forget sunscreen. This is a semi private week so lots of swimmers. They are - Darby, Lizzy, Vivi, Nolan, Addie, Grady, Claire, Noah, Isaac, Hannah, Ben, John, Noah, Hunter, and Lily. New to my program are - Jasper, Violet, Samson, and Roman. Welcome.

Friday

We made it through the first week and only missed one lesson. And today the sun is shining from the start. I'd say that's fairly successful. I have to tell you what one little boy said. He knew he had lessons for a week but was not happy when he found out that did not include Saturday and Sunday. Glad to know he has enjoyed it.

Thursday

Cloudy now but weatherman says the sun is coming. Might need to get the sunscreen out.

Wednesday

boy did we get the rain yesterday. Surprisingly I only missed one lesson. Forecast is for better weather the rest of the week with increasing sun and temps. Treading water test today for those levels requiring it.

Tuesday PM

It's getting a little lighter out now so if the thunder stops by 12:45, we'll try for lessons this afternoon. If you want to call me before leaving - if I don't answer, I'm in the pool

Tuesday AM
