Level 3 Swimming Graduated!

Congratulations Gianna! We have now been swimming with Aqua-Tots Swim School in Mesa for a year and Gianna was just moved up to Level 4! She is doing so well with her swimming and while she tells me everytime before we get there "I don't want to go underwater".. within minutes of getting in the pool she is happily swimming (under and above) and doing a great job!

Gianna can :

Hold her breath for a few seconds underwater.

Float on her back (unassisted for a few seconds although she gets a deathgrip on whomever she is with and doesn't like to float alone).

Do "Chicken, Rocket, Star", the way they teach the backstroke and such.

Do "Big Scoopers", the way they teach freestyle swimming.

Jump in off the ledge to her teacher.

These are all major steps for her, she had a hard time for a while letting go and was very scared to jump in by herself. She would have to be holding her instructors hand in order to jump in. She has always loved to go to class.. just not sure about a few things.

Great job Gianna, We love you!
