Neither kiddo moved up a level today, at the end of the current session. But both teachers let me know that they were *THIS* close to moving up. Sayer can get 1/3 of the way across the pool on her own, and when the teacher assists with the short pool noodle he says she goes the whole way with great kicking, great arm strokes, and an excellent rhythm for side breathing. She just needs to be able to do it without the noodle, which will probably happen in the next class or two. And the only thing holding Duncan back from moving up a level is that he needs to bob 3 times in a row. He does 2 times, but the teacher says she has to remind him to take a breath in between. Once he remembers to do that and goes down for the third bob, he'll move up. So, at the end of the next session (the end of May), they'll both move up a level ... just in time for them to likely not be in classes for a couple months due to traveling with me for Mom's Breastaurant. I'll have to see what I can do to get them into the water somewhere, somehow, during the summer.
