I assigned Kenzie and Coleman up for swim lessons at the Covington Aquatic Center. I was hoping they would be in the same class, but the teacher suggested that I keep Coleman in a lower lever. I'm fine with him being in a lower lever as long as he improves. After today's lesson I think he will. His teacher seems really great.
Coleman's the oldest kid in his class. It's a preschool class, but the non-preschool classes are for kids 6 and older. Even though Coleman is kindergarten age he's not 6. This was a big reason the teacher wanted him to be in this class (although at least half the other kids in Kenzie's class are 5 or younger... but I'm pretty sure they have been with the same teacher for awhile.)
He was not excited to go today, but during class he called over to me and said that it was more fun than he thought it would be.
The floated on their front.
And on their back.
Mackenzie's class was right after Coleman's. I was so happy to find they had a class higher than the preschool levels during the day.
Coleman wanted to watch from the bleachers.
Mackenzie was the fastest kid in her class by a lot. They had to swim to one side and then turn around and swim back without waiting for the other kids. Kenzie finished the 2 lengths before the other kids finished one. It helps that she's older and bigger than the other kids. She loved being so much faster though:) Her side breaths improved a lot in just one class, which is something she needed to work on.
