Swim Class (Winter ‘08, Week 4)

Since Nicholas and Wesley are at opposite ends of the pool area now, we had to find a prime seating location to view both during class.

Miss Ashley taught the entire class today and she put a lot of focus on Nicholas’ bent arm freestyle. I had a talk with her in the shower area after class and she told me that Nicholas was practically slapping the water with each stroke so she had to do some work with him to correct that. She also said that Nicholas was incorrectly flexing his feet while doing the backstroke so she used flippers on the kids to show them the proper way of kicking while on their back.

Wesley was enthusiastic about his swim class and was an A+ participant today! Mr. Adam told Alex that he still needs to work on keeping his legs together, improving his arm, and continue practicing his rotation from front-to-back, but other than that he’s making progress.
