🌟⚡ SWIMMER OF THE WEEK! ⚡🌟

This week, we’re giving a HUGE shoutout to CASSIDY! 🔥

Cassidy has been making some awesome progress in our Stingers level with Claudia, and has been putting in the effort to become a stronger, more confident swimmer every week! 💪

One of Cassidy’s big focuses has been breathing — blowing bubbles from the nose while swimming and building up to four breaths in a row while breathing every 3rd stroke in freestyle. Cassidy has also been practicing roll-outs, learning to turn into the correct breathing position while keeping the kick moving. 🏊‍♂️

They’ve been working hard on their streamline kick on their back too, building better body position and control in the water. And to top it all off, Cassidy has been mastering an important water safety skill — retrieving an object from underwater and swimming safely back to the wall. ⭐️

What really stands out is the effort Cassidy puts into every lesson. They’re taking on new challenges, listening to feedback, and putting the pieces together one skill at a time. Watching that confidence build is what swimming lessons are all about! 🚀

Claudia is super proud of everything you’ve been working towards, Cassidy! Keep challenging yourself, keep having fun, and keep showing us what you can do! 🔥

Well done, Cassidy — you’ve absolutely earned this one! 🏆

🦀 SWIMMER OF THE WEEK — COOPER! 🦀

This week’s Swimmer of the Week is COOPER BLEWETT!🔥

At 9 years old, Cooper has been putting in some serious work in our Crabs level, and his progress has been fantastic to watch! He’s been getting stuck into the skills, taking on feedback from Elena, and working hard to put everything together.

Cooper has been focusing on building a strong kick on his back, developing his freestyle rotations, and learning to use those big freestyle arms while working towards taking two breaths. He’s also been practicing side kicking with assistance to really nail his breathing position and body rotation. 💪

And it’s not just about swimming fast — Cooper has also been working on his water safety skills, building the confidence and knowledge he needs to stay safe in and around the water. 🌊

What we love about Cooper is that he’s not afraid to put the work in. Swimming is all about putting the pieces together, and every time Cooper gets in the pool, he’s one step closer to becoming a stronger, more confident swimmer. 🚀

Elena is super proud of the effort you’ve been putting in, Cooper! Keep attacking those skills, keep challenging yourself, and keep making waves in Crabs!🦀

Well done, Cooper — you’ve earned it! ⭐️

A huge congratulations to this week’s Swimmer of the Week… OSCAR! ⭐️

At just 3 years old, Oscar has been making some awesome progress in our Rugrats class with Sydney! He brings plenty of energy and curiosity to his lessons and is becoming more confident with every new skill he takes on. 🌊

Oscar has been working hard on putting his face in the water, practicing floats on both his front and back, and learning to kick. These might seem like small steps, but they are BIG building blocks towards becoming a confident and capable swimmer!

He has also been working on his water safety skills, learning how to respond safely in and around the water — an incredibly important part of his swimming journey. ⭐️

It's been fantastic watching Oscar become more comfortable in the water and keep giving new things a go. Every little splash, kick, float, and submerge is another step forward! 🚀

Sydney has loved watching you learn and grow, Oscar! Keep having fun, keep exploring, and keep making a splash in Rugrats! 💙

Miller lights up every Explorers lesson with his happy energy, big smile, and love for the water! He comes to every lesson ready to jump in, have fun, and give every new challenge his best shot.

In Explorers, Miller has been developing the key foundation skills that set swimmers up for success. He's been working on getting his arms and legs moving together, holding a strong streamline glide, floating confidently on his back without assistance, and building important water safety skills.

It's been fantastic to see Miller becoming more confident in the water as he continues to practice and improve each week. His enthusiasm is contagious, and his positive attitude makes every lesson a joy!
