We have an amazing pool at the end of our street- we walk there every day, multiple times each day most days, we have made lots of friends there, we are so thankful for it! It is a big part of what we do- it is the main thing we opted to do this summer! We are all so happy that Asher and Annalise love it- LOVE it! "Go to Summer Pool! I put my swim trunks on!" is how Asher greats us each and every morning. The mornings we do NOT go the pool, as in Saturday and Sunday, he is in tears....
Our swim team is wonderful. The kids have all made great friends thanks to this- which is perfect since they don't go to school with any of the neighborhood kids! This year the coaching staff is awesome- each week the kids drop time and improve! I also love that the coach really puts thought and effort into helping the kids work together- big kids are often paired with younger kids to help them! This builds a great sense of community- and everyone cheers for everyone- it is such a fun and uplifting time! You should hear everyone cheering for Annalise as she swims- and she LOVES it! Addie and Alden adore the big kids who have been assigned help them- they all play together when they see each other!
Both Asher and Annalise have come so far- Annalise swims in the swim meets 25meters free style. Asher has mastered swimming about 10feet- enough to go off the diving board and slide! He LOVES it! With each passing day, he swims farther for longer! He so desperately wants to be a Big Kid!
