Swim Lessons 2012

My girl can swim.   She has had some amazing teachers in the last 6 summers, and you can really tell that once she gets into the water.   Some of you may remember her swim teacher from a couple of years ago, Mason.   Well, he is now going to school and living in California, so he is pretty much out.   His brother, Matthew, served as Jillian's teacher this year.   They worked out on strokes and the technical parts of swimming.   He tried really hard to convince her to join the swim team.   (Remember her overwhelming hatred of not winning...)   He did not succeed.  But she is ready - if she ever decides to do it!

 

Backstroke below.

This next series is of her breaststroke.   It is her most natural stroke.  

And here is the boy playing in the water.   He wants to be out there so badly.   Maybe next year...
