A half-hour of swimming per day in the holiday program this week is working very well for Josh. He finds backstroke relatively easy and can swim a full length of that stroke and today he almost swam his first length of freestyle - another 2 strokes and he would have made it ! Joshua started swimming lessons at 2 years old and it has been a rather slow journey, more so because for a long time Joshua did not want to put his head under the water. It has also been very hard for Mummy to stand by and watch (and even more so to not say anything!!) as she used to teach children to swim - but learned a long time ago that she could not wear the 'black hat' and teach Josh. However, we are starting to see great progress in Joshua's swimming. The teacher has already commented that he has a very powerful kick which propels him through the water easily and his arm strokes are becoming quite strong.
