Day 282: Swimming! YAY!

Swimming lessons are a favourite in our house. They create such excitement each and every Monday, with screams of we are going swimming with 'Margie'. She is famous in our house. Can even use her as a bit of bribery when they aren't being the perfect angels they normally are.

Swimming lessons are apparently even more exciting when you get to wear your brand new swimmers. Ava was very excited this afternoon to hit the water.

Day 261 - Swimming Lessons

Tonight was the last swimming lesson for Term 3 - safety week. Swimming lessons are sometimes the funniest 30 minutes I have all week. Aside from being funny, it was a very serious topic as well. Watching the girls float around with their life jackets around their ears, trying to keep their feet pointing down rather than allowing them to kick to the surface like they normally do, was definitely something I wish I had captured on video. They saved each other with their noodles and life jackets and sometimes they didn't want to save one another.

I look forward to many more adventures of swimming on Monday afternoons next Term.

Day 16 - Lifeguards

This morning with beautiful weather we took the girls down to the beach for some more sandcastle building and a little bit of swimming. Yesterday while we were swimming, one of the lifeguards informed us of a rip. So we were like most other swimmers and swimming between the flags.
