Evie's First Swimming Diploma

For almost a year now Evie has been attending "Teddy Bear Swimming" at a nearby swimming pool. Every Tuesday we get up early and she, along with about twelve other babies and toddlers, swim and sing songs in the pool for about a half hour. Evie LOVES it! We think she's got some swimming talent.

Two weeks ago Evie got to have her first swimming exam and she passed with flying colors, earning her Teddy Bear Bronze Diploma. After this is silver, and gold, of course. The requirements for bronze are:
          Sitting on the edge of the pool and entering the water
          Splashing water over head
          Walking through the water
          Laying on belly and traveling though 5 meters of water
          Laying on back and traveling though 5 meters of water

She really did a fantastic job. Luckily, there was a parent of another little swimmer there who kindly took video and pictures of Evie (as well as his own child). We've put together another video showcasing this memorable occasion. Hope you enjoy!
