Kate Jumps Off The Diving Board

Kate has been doing so good at her swim lessons! We have been asking her all summer if she would like to jump off the diving board and have Miss Elisabeth catch her and her answer has always been "I'm afraid to do that." Today her improvements were so obvious with her swimming. She is actually getting her little tush and feet up behind her in the water and is kicking and coming up for breaths of air. She is learning to tread water and although it has felt like it is slow going, she has come a very long way since the beginning of summer. Today she agreed to try jumping off the diving board into Miss Elisabeth's arms. She did great and once she did it, she didn't want to stop. She must have jumped off about 5 or 6 times. There's no looking back now! We are so proud of her!
