Swimming - Learning to use the Flutter Board

Greetings family and friends,
For swimming today the Courageous Cubs and Incredible Two's learnt how to use the Flutter Board. We have become really confident in the water. We challenged ourselves at the end of the lesson by gliding without using a flutterboard. Our teacher kept reminding us that it wasn't a race. We were all focused today and we think that we have improved since our last lesson. What do you think? 

Thank you parents for allowing your child to participate. Our next swimming day is on Friday. We can't wait!

Here are some photos and videos of our learning today.

    1. Thank you for commenting on our blog. Miss Manuele loves swimming but can't join us in the pool because she has to be able to see us at all times. Plus, she prefers to teach us instead.
