Both Tallie and Chloe fight me every year to not take swim lessons. Lexi loves them and begs to take them. They always kick and cry when I sign them up but in the end they are always glad they did it. I finally convinced Tallie to take the Pre compitition level (after she watched an American Girl movie with a girl who was on swim team). I am so proud of her because she has learned to flip under water when she needs to turn around at the wall and she is diving off the platform through hula hoops! I watched her tirelessly swim lap after lap in the big lanes and was amazed at her endurance. I don't know if she will continue on and actually try out for a swim team but I'm glad she realized she could do this and that she pushed herself. Chloe and Lexi on the other hand are also just as amazing! Both girls are learning to dive into the deep pool and both can front stroke and back stroke numerous times across the pool. So sad for Kasen who had to sit with me on the side lines to watch. He did put his suit on most days just to be ready in case it was his turn.
Next year buddy...
