Wesley’s progress has been good and consistent according to his teacher Ms. Amy. He tries hard and had a lot of fun in between rotations with other kids. He’s got the best group of pals in this class (David and Laura who were also together with him in his previous Seahorse class), they hold hands going into the pool area with the teacher, they get all excited seeing each before/after class, and they share snacks between the kids. Unfortunately though, everyone will be split up for the next session because of various time preferences so that was sad to hear.

Nicholas has been doing well in class too but has been struggling for weeks on trying to get the front-to-back transitions in the middle of his kicks. Whenever he turns over on his back, he’d end up with water up his nose, his body would curl in, and everything would come to a halt right there. Luckily he just has to stand up in the water to get out of that situation but I would see the teacher talk to him as he is recovering from the gulp/snort of water, coaching him on what happened and what to avoid. Once he gets the hang of this, it’ll be smooth sailing for him onto Sea Turtles.
