<h1><span style="color: #0000ff;">Blue</span> and <span style="color: #ffcc00;">Gold</span> Week!</h1>
<h4>Blue and gold week continued to the pool!</h4>
On Monday and Tuesday swim lessons were a blast in the pool! The ducks, penguins, dragons, and gophers were introduced to the red-light green-light kicking game and continued to perfect their freestyle and elementary backstroke. The gators, big dogs, and sharks focused on freestyle and the beginning elements of a flip turn, as well as the butterfly kick.

Wednesday was a very fun day in the pool! The ducks, penguins, dragons, and gophers participated in multiple relay races to earn points for their teams. Gators and all sports learned the rules of and played water polo. On Thursday, all campers participated in Money Mania! Campers swam to the bottom of the pool to collect as many coins as they could to earn points! The week ended with a splash and a cannonball contest!
