SWIMMING CLASS

Mr. Leach (our P.E. teacher) was our swimming teacher today as Mr. Yakscoe is with the Upper School swim team at a swim meet.  During today's swimming class, we did the following...

~made a train and traveled around the perimeter of the pool (either by hanging on to the wall and pulling ourselves or by swimming).
~practiced putting our face in the water and blowing bubbles.
~floated on our fronts and our backs.
~practiced kicking and putting our faces in the water using kickboards; swam the width of the pool this way.
~had some FREE TIME with kickboards, floating barbells, and noodles.
With each swimming class, the children are becoming more comfortable and confident in the water.  We are so proud of their efforts!
