The boys couldn't wait for swimming to start. We usually wait until the last session because everything is slowing down and the weather is usually really hot. They did have a couple of day that it was cold and the girls wanted to get out, but the weather did turn out to be pretty comfortable. We signed the girls up this year and I really didn't think Kensie would cooperated, but she surprised me by only hesitating for a minute and then jumped right in. She is not scared of the water at all, which scares me. The boys were a year older when we put them in for the first time and they were scared to death and wouldn't even go off the slide. I think Gavyn spent the whole first year not even getting his hair wet. I don't know if it's because the girls are younger and they don't have that sense of fear, but Kensie wanted to go off the diving boards after only being there a few minutes. The boys still didn't get up the courage to do that this year. The girls teachers were Jenny Dinkle and Kara Menlove and the boys had Delanee Hoog and Jared Menlove. They all did good and when it came time for them to pass off their skills the girls passed, but are too little to move on. I couldn't believe the girls passed, it took the boys 2 years to pass off that class. The boys will need to repeat the tadpole class too, but I knew they would probably have them do this class a couple of years.

Jenny and Kensie
They did let the girls go off the diving boards until Halle decided to jump off with-out help. Scared us all to death including the life guard who couldn't catch her fast enough. The life guard in the water had to swim down and grab her. That pretty much ended that trick for the year.
