Last Swim for the Term.

So, it was Jade's last swim for the term today... and her last swim in the baby pool... next term she moves into the "BIG" pool and all the kids were excited about this today.... Jade, Marcus and Georgia move up and I believe that Seth is staying in the baby pool because he's not happy enough being in a class without his mother yet - so they don't want to stress him out more by putting him in a bigger pool...

The Three Musketeers - Georgia, Marcus and Jade

Jade and Georgia...

Jade being thrown in for the swim to the edge training.....

Jade "waking up".... they float on their backs and count to five and then "wake-up" - it's hard to explain - but it's really cute.....

Georgia diving for a dive stick on the bottom of the pool...

Marcus diving for a dive stick.....

You'll note there aren't any pics of Jade diving.... this is because she's still not overly happy about the whole diving process... neither is seth... although seth isn't happy about a lot of things in the class... (but he is still reasonably new to the swimming without his mother thing - he's only been in the class about half the term)....

Marcus and Georgia have had 1-2 more terms in this kind of learning than Jade... This was Jade's first term in the pool without me... so she hasn't done too badly... Also, Georgia is 2.5.. (born in March 2005 - 7 months prior to jade) and Marcus was December 2004... so they've got some age and maturity on Jade... but they are so cute! and so sure of themselves... it's great to watch....
