Martha Burns Swim School

We started swimming lessons in September at a new location. Since Olivia is a little intimidated by large groups of new people we thought a small pool with just a few kids might be a better fit for her. The first week was still a little rough but she did get in and did some floating with the teacher. Trevor took the kids the second week and he said it was like a different kid in the pool. She was swimming with her face in the water and jumping off the side just like we knew she could. 
 The teachers are working on getting her to use her arms for the freestyle. She likes to just put her face in the water and kick her legs. The problem is she is really fast when she does this so she has little motivation to use those arms.
 Cannon Ball!
 
 Ben has an awesome back stroke so he has been working on breathing with his freestyle with slow smooth arms. Each week he improves. Overall we have been very pleased with the program.
