I just wanted to take the opportunity to let you know how proud I am of all the students! The grade ones and twos were all on their best behaviour for our first day of swimming. I was especially proud of the grade one, non-swimmers! A few parents were justifiably concerned about their child's fear of water but let me tell you (because I saw it with my own eyes) there is nothing to worry about! They were very brave and perfectly safe! I was amazed when I walked in at the end of their session and I saw every swimmer in the water using pool noodles and NO LIFE JACKETS! Not a single child was clinging to the back of an instructor and they looked like they were seasoned swimmers! No life jackets...No clinging...that was a first for me! I was SO PROUD!
I was with the grade twos for their swim session and they had a blast playing water games with the instructors! Next week they will be put into their groups and the "hard work" will begin! :) I think we may have a class of fish!!! What great swimmers...so proud of each of them!
P.S. If you come to watch a session....wear your T-shirt and shorts! They like to keep the pool area WARM!!!
