January 2015 - Swimming lessons

We signed up for the Rotary "Learn to Swim" program again this January as we've done the past few years. It's held at the pool down on the river bank and always proves to be a bit of a chilly experience as it's an unheated outdoor pool. Being Tassie it's not always that warm in January so the girls were extra brave jumping in and giving it a go. It's such a great program and we really saw the girls progress this year with Hannah and Becky learning better stroke techniques and gaining confidence and ability. Mary really came along too and her confidence improved hugely! She was the leader of her little group and her teacher was always asking her to demonstrate how to do something for the other kids.
It's always a fun time to be together down at the pool and we often stayed on for a few extra hours to make use of their new found skills.
