What We Learned in Swimming Lessons

For the last several weeks we have been taking swimming lessons at CUC in Lacombe. Yesterday was our last day of swimming. There were three different groups and many different levels. 

Lindsay was the first instructor with our new swimmers. They practiced bobs, blowing bubbles under water, back starfish, back glide, front glide, front starfish, front to back starfish, and front to back glide. They also started front and back flutter kicks.  

The second group can't remember their instructors name (maybe it was Katelynn?)! But, they remember learning back glide, treading water, starfish, wall dives, pencil dives in the deep end, and sitting dive. 

The third group also can't remember their instructor's name but know that they learned how to tread water for 1 minute, to swim the length of the pool 4 times, front crawl, stride dive, sculling, kneeling dive, front and side glide, and back crawl. Some groups did back flips in the water. 

Aaron's favourite part about swimming was the free time when he went on the rope and diving board. Teigen agrees with Aaron. Katelynn liked jumping off the racing boards. Zane liked being in the big boats. We get our report cards tomorrow to find out how we did!  Thanks CUC!

  1. Dear 3B,

    I really enjoyed watching you swim. Everyone improved so much from the first lesson to the last. It really made me want to go into the water too! What was your favourite part of taking swimming lessons?
