Way to GO Berlyn!


Berlyn finished swimming lessons on Friday. And in order to pass level three she had to pass the deep water test. This included swimming the length of the pool on her stomach and then swimming back on her back. She then had to jump into the deep end and tread water for 30 seconds and then immediately go on her back and float for another 30 seconds. All during the lessons she wasn't able to swim this far, and on Thursday night she was very nervous but said a prayer asking for help. And on friday, she did it!!! She did so good and I was so proud of her. She had the biggest smile on her face, and the first thing she wanted to do was call her dad and tell him. So everytime we go to the pool, she tells them her name and she gets a wrist band and then she is able to go off the diving board and down the slide by herself. Way to go Berlyn!!!
