Swim Lessons

Camden is taking swim lessons at Wabash College.  The swim team does this as a fund-raiser.  She is having one-on-one instruction for 8 days.  We asked that they focus on her learning freestyle.  She has had two lessons and the improvement is remarkable.  Her instructor walked over to us last night and said she was "killing it today."

She and her instructor are in the third lane from the top.

This is the first night and her kicks were huge and her arms were doing the motions, but wildly.  She would take about 4 strokes and then stop.  By the second night she had flutter kicks, smoother strokes, and went 1/2 length without stopping.

But her absolute favorite part is the last 5 minutes they get to "play."  The swing is pretty impressive.

She probably gets 2 or 3 turns a night and then spends the rest of the time jumping off the diving board.

 

She is working up the courage to jump off the high dive.  Both nights she has gone up,

walked out to the end, contemplated jumping, 

then turned around and climbed down.  

She believes she will do it tonight!  We told her to only do it if she feels up to it...no pressure.  We are very thankful for this experience and the progress she is making.
