Emily's swimming.....

We took the kids to the pool to swim so John could work with Mac for an upcoming meet and Emily could play around.  She's been taking lessons and is up to level 3 and swimming pretty good, she's very excited and were seeing great progress.  After John and Mac were done they went over to the diving boards and slide.  Emily wanted to go down the slide, the pool rules include having to wear a life jacket unless you pass the swim test.  Emily went down the slide once with a life jacket on and really wanted to take if off.  John asked her if she wanted to try to pass the swim test which includes swimming from one end to the other and back without stopping and then immediately treading water for 30 seconds.   John and I weren't sure  she would have the stamina to make it yet but sure enough she proved us wrong.  She passed with flying colors!!!!  She was tired and we were so proud of her.  

So then she wanted to go off the low diving board, she walked out and then froze.  I wasn't sure she was going to do it.  After counting she mustered up the courage and jumped off, swam to the ladder and got out.  She loved it and did it several more times.  She's caught the swimming bug.......

We are so proud of Emily!!!!!!!!!
