I would say by being present you can understand what the teachers or instructors do when it comes to certain kids i.e not being 1st or having to sit out etc... the goof-offs, but when parents just drop off and pick up they do not understand and also only get 1 side of the story, you now know all parts of the story of 70 kids and how they behave at swim school!<br />Again GOOOD FOR YOU one being there.Plant Seeds of Happinesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10070195737004917932noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6429181581164372392.post-29576115068704325022012-07-07T10:16:44.463-07:002012-07-07T10:16:44.463-07:00I assume the 'chipmunks' are little ones.....I assume the 'chipmunks' are little ones.....I think knowing how to swim is very important, espec. on a coast!

I got a "B" and I suppose Mrs. Jim got an "A." I had a broken foot with a cast for six weeks. So I missed some of the strokes. I excel with the backstroke!<br /><br /><a href="http://jimmiehov.blogspot.com/search/label/Six%20Word%20Saturday" rel="nofollow"><b>Jim's Six Word Saturday</b></a><br />..Jimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02982249173214655060noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6429181581164372392.post-3738608000169110222012-07-07T07:26:25.552-07:002012-07-07T07:26:25.552-07:00I used to love to swim.
