Firstly, thanks to everyone for all their patience and support through the rain and bad weather! You have all been so understanding and encouraging to the children. The children have still developed so much over the last term and some of the little ones have achieved great results. Nearly all of the babies/toddlers are swimming unaided, even if it’s just from me to Mum - well done! So …
Most Improved Swimmers of the Term:
Eden Wallace
Eden’s swimming has suddenly just taken off (her Mum thinks due to peer pressure during a recent holiday) but she is now swimming unaided and starting to work on her pizza arms and paint the sky arms. Eden is 2 years old and a strong swimmer and has swam consistently since she was less than a year! Fantastic work Eden!
McKenzie Ewan
McKenzie is an amazing swimmer and proved herself especially during Stamina week. She is just 7 years old and she swam 1km using a variety of strokes. She has a great position in the water and tries exceptionally hard in class. She has improved so much over the last term and is swimming with other swimmers aged 8 and 10. I love teaching McKenzie and I love her attitude – a pleasure to teach. Keep it up McKenzie.
Best Swimmer of the Term
Emma Nguyen
Emma is an extremely talented young lady. She has already competed in her first triathlon race and she swims anything between 750m – 1km each week. Each of her 4 strokes are at competitive level and also are her IM race times. I am sure she could qualify to train in any swim team. Great work Emma – the hard work is really paying off!
Best Class of the Term
Ruby Crossland/Lily Hulbert/Ella Goldie (3 p.m. Monday afternoons)
These young ladies are an excellent th*****me. They train hard each week, listening and taking on board instruction. Their ages range from 4 to 6 and have already mastered side breathing in freestyle, basic breaststroke, basic backstroke and butterfly legs. They are strong swimmers and easily swim 400/500m each session. Well done girls, please keep it up!
Finally ….
Mums’ (and Dads’) Xmas Drinks – Thursday 28th November @ 6.45 -8.30 p.m.
Please join us at 6.45 p.m. on Thursday 28th November (THIS THURSDAY) at Wine Connection for a couple of glasses to celebrate Christmas. This is a lovely evening when I can finally get to chat to the Mums and you can meet other Mums from different classes. We had lots of fun last year and I do hope you can make it this year. Happy Christmas and Happy New Year!
The end of term is Thursday 12 December and we will start up again on Monday 6th January!
Well done to the all the children – it’s always a tough term … I hope the sun returns for the new term!
