she did

Who just completed the American Red Cross Learn to Swim Program?



She did.

In order to pass, she was required to:
  • swim 500 yards continuously using 3 different strokes, swimming at least 50 yards of each stroke
  • jump into deep water, perform a survival float for 5 minutes, roll onto back and perform a back float for 5 minutes
  • retrieve an object from the bottom of the pool at a depth of 7-10 feet, and return to the starting point with the object


She knows how to swim 6 different strokes, survival float for 10 minutes, and do different turns while swimming.  And on the first day of her level 6 class, who was the first to confidently stroll down the diving board and dive off?  She was.

And, standing just a smidge over 4 feet tall, who spiked the ball over the net with authority?



She did.
