Big Day for Aud in the Pool.....

Our YMCA is notorious for its rigorous swim test and the coveted "green necklace".  In order to pass this swim test (which allows the child to swim in any pool in the city and utilize diving boards, deep water, etc) the child has to swim 25 meters freestyle, stop (do not touch the side!!) tread water for one minute, swim back 25 meters on their back, stop (do not touch the side!!) tread water for another minute and then swim back 25 meters with the stroke of their choice.  Our girl did it and passed with flying colors today!!!  She attempted it last week but touched the side on her first lap so she had to wait another week before attempting it again.  She is THRILLED!
