<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #000000;">Panda/Duck/Penguin: the swimmers are working on level 2 seahorse and this week they were tested on doing 20 head bobs, kicking with a kick board on their fronts and backs the width of the pool, and floating on their backs and fronts for 5 seconds with out help from a counselor. This week we worked more on floating by themselves and we taught them how to do beginner freestyle.  </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #000000;">

</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #000000;">Eagles/Gators/All Sports: The swimmers passed level 5 pike this week and they completed the skills of performing a flip turn, sit dive, knee dive, and standing dive.  We worked on a new stroke called breaststroke with the swimmers and we taught then the proper arm work and kick. They are still working on it, but most of them picked up the stroke pretty quickly. The all sports group got the chance to learn a new game called waboba which is like water polo, but instead of throwing the ball, the swimmers have to skip the ball across the water and into the goal to score points.</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #000000;"> </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #000000;">
