Isla has been trying very hard to keep her legs long and straight when kicking with her tappy toes, as you can see in the video! She has also been working on keeping her arms straight when doing her big arms and kicks and doing as many arm circles before she stands up to have a breath. She has now gotten a lot stronger and faster at getting back safely to the wall after jumping into the pool.
You are doing such a great job Isla, keep it up !
Our swimmer of the week this week goes to our amazing swimmer Joseph because he has now begun kicking on his back with no assistance from his teacher and is able to do this consistently. Due to him being able to kick so well on his back, it means he is now confident and able to accomplish his rotations. Not only is he consistent with attending his lessons but he comes to swimming every single week with a big smile on his face and participates to his fullest no matter what activity they are doing.
Well Done Joe !!
Courtney is our swimmer of the week for this week because she attends her swimming lesson each week and is trying her hardest to achieve what is needed. She will listen to instructions thoroughly and will be focused on what she has to do. She is now able to swim 15 meters of her freestyle without standing, and will do so with perfect arms and bubbles. She has been an absolute pleasure to teach and is heading in the right direction to become a great little swimmer !
Theo has been very determined to float on his back without any help from his teacher. He has been working on his kicking and he has also improved in his streamlined kick. To top it all off he always brings his happy smiley self to swimming every week.
Sasan has got much stronger in his breathing position and he has made a huge improvement with his kicking technique (on his front and back) He also has been remembering to take a breath when rolling to his side.
Keep up the good work Sasan!
Our swimmer of the week this week has nailed her streamline glide in a matter of lessons! She is on her way to developing a nice strong kick and is now keeping her chin down every time she does her swimming. Moega is keeping her big arms nice and straight and we have even introduced her pillow into swimming!
Keep up the good work Moega!
