Yesterday Monica finally got to take her swim test. She has been aching to do it all summer, but we told her she had to practice a LOT. Even then Anton and I didn't think she would pass. We were hoping she'd at least make beginner (finish half of the test) and get half of her buddy tag colored. Here she is going down the ramp with Dad as her buddy:
1, 2, 3 Jump!
75 yards of a front stroke, 25 yards of backstroke, and floating on your back:
Almost done:
After finishing the test, the beach crew asked Anton to demonstrate the trudgen, an archaic stroke that's really only used for sea rescues. Once a beach director, always a beach director!
Meanwhile, Monica celebrates and passed as a swimmer! BOTH red and blue on my tag, please, Dad!
