Our Little Fish

Last night Will finished his current session of swimming lessons at the rec center and completed level 3 of the American Red Cross swimming course. We're so proud of him! He swims as well as both his parents did as teens now! He was sick with a sinus/ear infection for over a week, so his teacher didn't think he would pass the test, but she said he did such a great job she passed him despite missing 3/10 classes. So this summer he'll take level 4 lessons, and he's thinking about doing swim team this fall. Pretty awesome, especially considering he had never swam a stroke until last August, and has only been in the water for a few weeks this year. He just loves it! This is a video of his level 3 swim test - jump into deep water, swim 25 meters backstroke, tread water for 1 minute, swim back front crawl. He's the kid in the bright yellow swim shirt closest to the edge.
