Use Your Noodle

Last week the girls had a substitute swim instructor.
Lily really wanted nothing to do with him.
And Sophia played Damsel in Distress for most of the lesson.
She charmed the instructor into doing all of the work for her.
I'm not even sure she bothered to kick her legs.

After that fiasco, I kind of felt like the girls had taken a step back in their progress.
But today was a new day and Miss Mary Kate was back...

Today Mary Kate incorporated a noodle into the lesson...

And Sophia kicked really hard to get herself around the pool...

The girls also used a kick board...

Lily was determined...

Sophia just giggled the whole time...

They learned new form when "diving"into the pool...

Then swam back to the wall all by themselves...

Today the girls looked to be back in swim mode.
Sophia summed it up just how I would have
with a BIG...

Thumbs up!

Great job girls!
