Well- she’s actually an even bigger part than that. You see a good portion of the post is about Jennifer and her girls. They swim at Condors with us. Her daughter (S) swims with (E) and her other daughter (L) is on pre-team with (A). For the 2017-2018 swim seasons they have been in the same groups. Throughout all their swim time together, they have not only learned to be better swimmers, they have also become friends.
But not just- “Hey Good to see you” friends, like when are we having a play date- can they come swimming at Gran’s house, i’m ditching you at our photo viewing and playing outside all afternoon friends. This is possible because of the retention rate at Condors. People who come to see the program love it so much that they stay- so our kids have been swimming together a LONG time.
When we walk into Felix Festa Middle School on our scheduled days the first order of business is ALWAYS to find out buddies. (A) won’t even walk over without (L), and Little Miss likes to sit in the bleachers and chat with (S) before their lesson.
Lots of learning and fun happen in our half hour lessons- but aside from the benefits of fitness and safety that I often discuss- there is also a TON of laughter and fun happening. The kids chat, make plans, and encourage one another to do better. (A) and (L) even have some friendly races from time to time.
In fact, we have a little group of parents that hang out in the stands now (very inclusive if you see us come on over) with a total of 10 kids in the program- and we’ve really gotten to know one another because of the kids swim schedules.
We’ve had the summer off and the kids are asking about lessons once again. I am so happy that this is the case because the school months are my absolute favorite times for them to swim. They continue to hone their skills in the off season, stay in shape and get to have some great fun. Ashley is ALWAYS amazing at helping us find the perfect session to fit into our super busy schedules- and we get to hang with our buddies again!!!
