Swim Ranch



 We had another great year at Swim Ranch. This was Emma Katherine's first year to participate in the water babies class and Caleb's first year in lane one.
It definitely wore them out. Emma even went back to taking two naps for the week.
 Emma did really well with getting in and out of the water, holding on to the side, and using the kick board, but not as excited to jump in off the side. She's been trying to blow bubbles in the bathtub and splash too just like at the pool. She liked her new swim buoy so much from the beginning that it was worn all Monday night.

 Both kids enjoyed getting in the rings during playtime. Emma wasn't sure about the slide at first but liked it once she tried. Mrs. Virginia commented on her expressions and how quickly she changes them. Yes ma'am she does!


 Our classes were back to back and Emma Katherine did pretty well after her lesson waiting for Caleb. Her time was usually spent eating and socializing.

 Caleb swam a little under water without his buoy,
 floated on back and front,
 and kicked forwards and backwards.
 Caleb also jumped off the diving board for the first time.

 Caleb enjoyed having his friends Kaylee Beth and Annelise there to share in the fun!


 They both got lots of great marks on their certificates. Caleb got 6 red flags, 8 yellow flags and 1 blue flag.



 What better way to end a great week of swimming lessons than with free lunch for Cow Appreciation Day at Chickfila?
