In the Swim
Jul. 6th, 2019 11:55 pmI finally got into the pool for the first time this year. We only stayed about an hour, as there wasn't a lot going on there to keep the kids occupied, but it was good to get wet.

Jul. 21st, 2016 11:55 pmKatie had her last swimming lesson of the summer today. She had gone on to level 4 to get back ahead of Julie, but we'd been warned that the chances were excellent that she'd need to repeat level 4 at least once, as there was a lot of really difficult stuff to learn and most kids couldn't manage it the first time around.
Katie passed.
She still needs to do a lot of work on her diving -- mostly due to the fact that she is extremely reluctant to go into the water headfirst -- but that wasn't one of the required skills to pass level 4. :)
Good job, Katie!

Back In the Swim
Jun. 7th, 2015 11:07 pmLast weekend, Mystic Waters -- our big community pool / water park -- had a preview weekend for season pass holders. It was so cold the pool didn't even open.
Yesterday was the official opening. It was so cold that I don't think they opened.
Today, they opened up. It was still cold, the weather was threatening, the crowd tiny. We figured we'd give it a shot before the girls exploded from anticipation. It actually wasn't too bad, but the crowd was so thin that they closed up at three. There was also a line of storms that was supposed to arrive about then.
The storms went south of us. Instead the heat and humidity arrived. It would have been a perfect time to go get in the pool.
Go figure.
