Swimming Lessons

Lukas and Landon started swimming lessons June 18th and today was their last day. Kelly took off work today to come watch them.

Lukas was in group 3 this year. He tested very well! He completed the following:
Knows pool rules
Knows safety measures
Front float 30 sec.  – Unassisted
Back float 30 sec. – Unassisted
Freestyle form
Breathing
Treads water 30 sec.
Rock retrieval – 6 ft.

He tested attempted for the following:
Freestyle 15 yds.
Backstroke 15 yds.

He will start in group 3 next year, but should move up quickly. We are so proud of you, Lukas!


This was Landon's first year of swimming lessons and he did very well! He completed the following on his test:
Knows pool rules
Knows safety measures
2.8 ft. wall jump – Unassisted
Diving Board Jump – Jumps unassisted, but caught
Front paddle 3 to 5 yds.
Kicks 5 to 10 yds. – Unassisted
Rock retrieval – 2.8 ft.

He tested attempted for the following:
Front float – Assisted
Back float – Assisted
15 Bobs

We were amazed how well he did. His favorite part of lessons was jumping of the diving boards. He was the only one in his group that didn't need assisted. He didn't even want the lifeguard to stand on the board with him. We're not sure which group he'll start in next year. We may start him in group 1 and if he's too advanced they will move him up to the next group. He's looking forward to lessons next year. We are so proud of you, Landon!

Here are some pictures and videos from today:)
