Surprise of the day: Kai passed Swimmer 2.
Kai has been taking swim lessons at our local pool, Corkstown Pool in Ottawa. His previous lessons were preschool-D back in the spring.
Our pool has no Preschool-E. Kids need to be 6 years old for Swimmer-1. Our solution? Put him in Swimmer-2. We got approval easily since we are at the pool almost every day all summer, often 2 or 3 times during the day. This is a pool where we sometimes take treats for the guards at the end of the season. (Note to guards: if all the treats are gone before the other guards get in, then Dave and Alex ate them all. Kai gave them to Dave, to share as he sees fit.)
His combined swimmer 2-3 class had 4 kids from 5-9 years. Dave was an excellent teacher, enabling amazing progress for all 4 kids.
