This is what it looks like when you pass the swim test (which consists of swimming the length of the pool without stopping or touching and treading water for two minutes). You have to pass in order to swim in the deep end and jump off the diving board. Each kid gets a number when they pass. Leo is #225. He was able to swim the length of the pool last year but just couldn't tread water for so long. We've been trying to teach him to tread but he didn't think he could do it. Finally, yesterday one of our lifeguard friends taught him the correct way to tread and guess what? He passed the swim test! He is so proud and so are we!
All he did was jump off the diving board for the next hour.
Way to go Leo!
