JJ started swim lessons during summer camp at Pinecrest. Took about 3 wks of lessons. Got to a point where he could swim free style for about 7-8 meters. He became quite comfy in water and could dive around and played under water.
Went to Niigata for our summer vac. JJ went to nearby (3 min walk from grandma's) swim school for a week. The teacher (Kato sensei) was wonderful but quite cute!
Anyway, they were great. At the end of the week, they had a test on Fri. JJ swam non-stop for 20meters! WOw, that's amazing. Surpassed my expectation by almost 10 meters! I was beyond proud!
Next step back in US is to keep his swimming consistent. He couldn't do 20M in the pacific palisades pool when we first got back. Been going everyday. He can now do about 13m nonstop after 5 days. He loves to swim which is great.
Pincrest lost Coach Fasma and hence the swim program for PE is gone too. Too bad. Trying to see how we can get him some swim lessons now.
