Noah is SWIMMING!!!!!!!


I could not be more proud of this kiddo!!!! I am so happy that all our hard work has paid off this summer. I can't take all the credit tho, we signed him up for a few sessions of swim lessons through the city of Mesa. Here is his final report card:
Some of his Swimming abilities checked off:
  • Enter/Exit water independently
  • Submerge mouth, nose, and eyes
  • Front float 3+ seconds
  • Front and Back glide 2 body lengths
  • Treading water
  • Roll from front to back and back to front
  • Freestyle kicking
  • Passing between adults
  • Combined arm and leg action on front and back 
(He did so well they told me he can skip the next level and move onto "Sea Horses!" YAY for Noah!). I think the city of Mesa lessons definitely helped him with technique, but I think just simply exposing Noah to the pool as much as I did is what gave him the confidence the needed.
