Conner has stepped up to the big leagues recently and has joined the swim team at Club Sport, down the road from us. Previously he was taking swim lessons once a week and working on stroke improvements in a very small pool. No long swims at all.
On his second day of swim club, having never swam more than 10 yards in a row,
was told to jump in and swim to the other end of the pool, 25 yards away. I think he surprised himself by swimming not only the first 25, but the remaining 4 or 5 lengths that day. He now regularly swims 8-10 laps or more each session.
The time commitment has also increased dramatically as he now swims for 30 minutes Monday to Thursday, 45 minutes on Friday and then 45 minutes to an hour on Saturday they go to the local high school pool and practice diving off the blocks. There are swim meets all summer. He loves it and is turning into a fish.
We are also lucky enough to have a fantastic photographer as a parent and he takes dozens of pictures on a regular basis and posts them to the web for us to download.
Parker has decided now that he is almost four, he can start swimming. Conner has offered to coach him and Parker has agreed.
