The boys had swimming today. They've been swimming everyday for the past 2 weeks and it was a beautiful day outside too! It was their last class and while Jack passed, Scott did not although he did really well too. This was Scott's first time taking Level 5 and children usually do not pass the first time after switching to a new level so we weren't too surprised. He's finished swimming for the year now because soccer will be starting in a few weeks and that keeps him busy enough.

I wasn't too sure if Jack was going to pass or not. Sometimes it's a bit iffy and even though this was Jack's second round of swimming lessons this summer...this level was different. He was in Level 1 for his first set...and then at registration time for this second set, they suggested putting him into something called Salamander. This enabled me to have them swim close together (timing wise) and because the "name levels" are for children between the ages of 3-6, he still "qualified". As well, the Salamander level apparently gives them a jump start since it sort of is Level 2. Confusing I know!

SO anyways, Jack I think will swim another set of lessons in an indoor pool since he doesn' t have any other activities planned. The questions is...Will he be in Level 2 or Sunfish? I'll keep you posted. And at Sam's suggestion, I guess we're off to Dairy Queen tonight to celebrate their progress! Apparently they're going to be allowed to order anything they want...this should be interesting!

p.s. I forgot to mention that Jack also went off the diving board! It was his first time and he did great! And to no surprise, Scott did as well ;) He's a pro though since he's been going off of it since he was 3! :)
