๐ THIS WEEKโS MEDAL GOES TO WILLIAM! ๐๐
I am so incredibly grateful to have this gorgeous boy back swimming with me this term ๐ซถ๐ฝ
William swam with me a couple of terms ago and his family will often have a little break and then come back, so having him return this term has been such a delight. He has the most wonderful little personality, he is so cheeky, always makes me laugh and smile, and he absolutely LOVES his swimming lessons ๐
When I think back to where William was only around six months ago, I honestly cannot believe how far he has come. When he was learning to float and kick on his back, he would pinch onto my arm and hold me so tightly saying, โDonโt let me go!โ ๐ฅน It was such a big hurdle for him to build that confidence and trust himself in the water.
Now look at him! ๐คฉ
William is swimming freestyle arms ALL BY HIMSELF across the pool, keeping his head so still like a little statue, kicking beautifully on his back independently and now beginning to learn his backstroke arms as well ๐๐
Even at the beginning of this term, his freestyle arms were still staying underneath the water, and now he is bringing those arms up beautifully and actually SWIMMING! The improvement in such a short amount of time has been absolutely incredible.
He also loves having Mum and Dad watching him and you can just see how proud he is when he shows them what he can do ๐๐
For the past TWO WEEKS IN A ROW William has absolutely blown me away with his swimming. His confidence, effort and performance have been outstanding and I could not be more proud of how far this little man has come ๐
William, you have worked so hard and you absolutely deserve this weekโs medal ๐
Keep being your cheeky, funny little self and keep smashing those swimming goals!
So incredibly proud of you ๐๐โโ๏ธ๐
