Little swimmers

The kids have been taking swimming lessons pretty consistently for 2-3 years now and are all water safe around pools. Over the last year they have been lucky enough to be at the world famous International Swim Center in Santa Clara where many a great Olympian has trained. They are currently in a class on Fridays and are all still enjoying it. The teaching is first class and they really stress technique and strokes so much so that that Lea can easily swim multiple lengths of our Junior Olympic length pool in our neighborhood.

We will evaluate Julia and Lea for pre-competitive swim lessons this fall. Very exciting! Lea seems to have the energy and aptitude for it. I am not sure how interested Julia is.
Here are a couple of fun pictures of them getting ready for their lesson last week. Currently the swim in a bubble over one of the outdoor pools however if they move up to the next level they swim outdoors year round. Brrr!

All kids!
