Swimming update

Elena learned the crawl stroke at swimming on Monday. Pretty funny because when she first did it on her own, her arms went backwards! Teacher Patty says it's a very common occurrence when first learning.

After circling her arms backwards and doing the breast stroke, Elena kind of got the hang of it and got her arms going the right direction and out of the water.

Elena had another first at her swimming lesson last Monday - swimming to the bottom of the pool. Teacher Patty told her the trick is to blow bubbles all the way down, otherwise it can be a struggle.
