Sounds fabulous. A2 started swimming lessons last September after having done her best to teach herself how to swim without her armbands but with minimal success. She has accelerated through her lessons moving up a grade a term such that she will be beginning grade 4 this September when swimming lessons start again. At age 8 they are allowed into the pool on their own if they can swim. As she turned 8 last month and can swim a lap without stopping and confidently jump off the low diving board into the deep pool and swim over to the side (her newest favourite thing) we have allowed her to have 5-10 minutes on her own in the pool unsupervised after the end of swimming lessons.
Wow, how fun!! I'm now remembering going down the slide at the JCC pool growing up - how I loved it!! Heck, I just loved practically living at the pool all summer as a kid to tell you the truth. :) Glad they're having a great time and doing so well.
