Monday

Session 9 - final session of the year - will probably begin with rain. Reminder - we swim in the rain but those on the deck should be prepared with umbrellas. If there is thunder and lightning, we will get out. Nothing is expected to last long so hopefully we don’t lose much. We have 2 new swimmers this week, welcome Emma and Taylor. Returning are - Savio, Tazio, Zenio, Emery Bennett, Allia, Jasper, and Violet.

Congratulations to Emma who passed Eels last week and made it to my Wall of Fame. This is my last official level and swimmers have learned all the strokes and become more efficient with them.

Monday

Session 8 begins today. 2 cautions for parents. First, our street is being resurfaced today so you can’t park on the street. Pull in the driveway or even better, drive in behind bridgewater and come in my back gate. Second, threat of storms today. We’ll swim in the rain but if storms pop up, we’ll have to get out. I’ll try and post as soon as I can if there are changes. Parents can help on deck by watching radar for me. Swimmers this week are - Lilah, Emery, Bennett, Andrew and little brother Noah beginning for first time, Allia, Jasper and Violet. New swimmers this week are Anton and Finn.

Battle of the log rolling!

Friday

Looks a little unsettled today. We will swim in the rain. It being Friday, I try very hard to get all the swimmers in for at least a little while. Some have just a couple skills yet to accomplish to finish their level. Hopefully if we get any storms they will be fast moving.

Monday

A little cool to start but the sun is out, water is warm, everyone should be comfortable today

Well looks like the rain has moved out but it won’t warm up very fast. Don’t forget your towel and maybe a sweatshirt for when you get out. Treading test today for those levels needing it.
