Mai Sylver

Our swimmer of the week for this week is Mai. She has received this as she comes to lessons weekly and has shown so much improvement since she started with us earlier this year, even received her ribbon for Crabs to move to Stingers !! She is always focused during the lesson and tries her very best with anything she is asked to do, even if she finds it a bit tricky ! When she first moved to Crabs, she was finding kicking on her back quite challenging, however we have now mastered this and she is able to do so with ease ! She is now capable of doing her rotations now that she can kick on her back. She also has the most perfect circle arms (freestyle arms) you could ask for ! We are now practicing her 3 freestyle arms before rolling for a breath, and she won't be far from mastering this skill either !
