Okay... Well not exactly... but there was talk of a college scholarship for my son..... from a Mom sitting next to me... after she saw his strong kicking. All unsolicited!!!He's shown great improvement over the past month in his kicking and stroking, primarily because he doesn't mind getting his head and face wet. With a kick board, he's crossing the pool with ease. He'll head to the corner of the pool jump in and swim 10 to 12 feet on his own. Finally, much to my surprise, he'll jump off a starting block by himself!!! It's great to see him progressing. I can't wait until he can swim all his own.
He does have to step it up though. His Dad and uncles were all swimming competitively at age 6. Perhaps having an Australian coach is not enough. Or perhaps we need to start daily lessons. Who knows. I am still finding the Tiger Dad within.
That is so cool...Go Mark! I am, and will always be, an awful swimmer. I am, however, very good at sitting on the side of a pool sipping my beer! :o)
ReplyDeleteGreat job, Mark, keep it up!
