She's part fish

We got a call today from Violet's swim club, she's ready to move from level 2 to level 3. She starts the new class next week! She only had 3 lessons at level 2. I knew her swimming looked good last week, but I wasn't expecting them to move her for another week or two. This is wonderful!

We found an opening in a class taught by her same instructor, so she doesn't have to get used to/comfortable with a new teacher. I think that will help her a lot. Her new level swims the full length of the pool. I think Violet's going to be pretty tired the first few weeks of that. We still go on Monday nights, but a half an hour earlier.

I am glad she's doing so well. One, because I really wanted her swimming to improve. But also because Mr. I. was a little nervous about the cost of the lessons. They aren't cheap. But the small size classes really helps, I think. We've committed to keep going through May. We'll see how she keeps progressing and decide if she's going over the summer or not. If she likes it, I'd like to find the money to keep her in class. But I should stop getting ahead of myself and just enjoy that she's making good progress. A few more weeks and I won't worry about her swimming without me there. (But with a qualified lifeguard on duty, of course.)

I have a level 3 swimmer!
