Swimming update

I've been in my Beginner swim class for 11 weeks now. Unlike when I first started swimming on my own, I'm doing great.  No more crying.  In fact, I haven't cried in a several weeks.  Now, I greet my teacher, Sean, with a high five every time.  I listen to him and volunteer when he asks who wants to go first.  I even like to tell my preschool teachers that I'll be going swimming every Tuesday.

Today, I got my beginner 2 ribbon!  That means I can:
  • forward float (with my face in the water) on my own complete relaxed for 5 seconds
  • float on my back, relaxed but with assistance for 10 seconds
  • climb out of the side of the pool on my own
Right now I'm learning how to streamline swim.  That means I reach my arms high above my head with my hands touching, "dive" into the water and "kick."  Or as I told mama I'm supposed to be a rocket under water.

Pretty soon, I'll be swimming like a shark!
