PUNI - SWIMMER OF THE WEEK

JACOB HUGHES

Jacob has been trying so hard lately, with working on a few things. Jacob can confidently go under the water by himself without needing to hold onto the teacher or hold onto the bar! He's so confident with that, that he can even hold his breathe for 8 seconds. Jacob has been working hard on controlling his fast little kicks, which we are now happening with little correction. Jacob can now glide with 1 board and doesn't need the teacher to hold on him! You have come such a long way Jacob and we just love seeing your achievements every week!!

Swimmer of the week - Cade Turner

Cade has come such a long way over the last few weeks, he has gone from not wanting to go under the water at all to making his big balloon face and going under all by himself, while using his flutter boards too. Cade's kicking has come from big splashy kicks to fast little tappy toe kicks, making him move fast through the water. Cade has gone from not wanting to do his star fish on his tummy or back to feeling super confident and relaxed now, not needing to put his head on the teachers shoulder. We are so proud of you Cade and can't wait to see your achive more milestones!
