The Essex Swim School

Jill’s ✨Swim Star✨this week is ✨Marley✨ who was kicking and scooping really well during our games today. He certainly knows how to get around the pool and he was a little powerhouse today! Well done ✨Marley✨ you made everyone proud today! 💜

🌟 Davinia’s Swimmer of the Week is Arewa!🌟
I’m so proud of you this week, Arewa! When you first joined, you started your lessons feeling very unsure and scared of the water, but you are gaining a little more confidence each week. You’re starting to relax more in the water, settling more quickly into your lesson and not getting quite so worried. Well done, keep up all your hard work! You and Mummy will get there, so keep going and being the amazing team you are.
Well done, Arewa! 🌟

🌟 Davinia’s Swimmer of the Week is Phoenix! 🌟
Wow, what a fantastic week you have had, Phoenix! We’ve had a few weeks where you haven’t really wanted to do your swimming, but today you were absolutely incredible! 😊
You jumped in all by yourself for the very first time! 🎉👏 What a brilliant achievement! Your concentration was amazing, your listening was super, and you had the BEST swimming legs today! 🌟
I’m so proud of you, Phoenix. What a difference today made, keep up the amazing work! ⭐️

🐸 FRANCES' SUPER SWIMMERS OF THE WEEK! 🐸

This week has been ALL about breaststroke… or, as we’ve been calling it, froggy legs! (I don't know how many times I've shouted "FROG, STAR, PENCIL!!!" this week!)

I couldn’t choose just one Super Swimmer this week. My little Thursday crew absolutely smashed it 💙

⭐ Parker
⭐ Carter
⭐ Quincy
⭐ Bertie
⭐ Primrose

We’ve been practising big froggy kicks by pretending to catch fireflies and bring them all the way back over to my lily pad 🐸✨

So this week, the Thursday gang gets the title 🏆

Well done, my little frogs! 🐸💦

Our Pool Water Laboratory Results are as perfect as ever 💦✨

Jill’s ✨Swim Stars✨ this week are sisters, Polly and Margot. ✨Polly✨ has been getting stronger and more independent in the water each week, closely watched by her sister. But today, ✨Margot✨ took the plunge too! It was great to see them both in the pool together with their Daddy. Margot enjoyed her time in the water so much, she didn’t want to leave!
Well done girls, what a lovely time you all had today, it was great to see! ✨💖✨💖✨

Raine’s Swimmer of the Week is Rowen ✨✨ His last swim with me today as he is moving to Hong Kong! Rowen has moved from being a non swimmer when he first joined me back in February to now a confident swimmer, swimming without support and any floatation aid and now putting his face in the water which was the biggest achievement! Amazing achievement Rowen keep up the good work . It has been great to be part of your swimming journey ⭐️⭐️

Jack is Lucy’s Swimmer of the Week ✨✨✨ Jack has made fantastic improvements in his stamina through all his consistent practice over the summer. Well done Jack ⭐️⭐️⭐️

Max is Lucy’s Swimmer of the Week ✨✨ He has made amazing progress swimming independently without the use of any buoyancy aids. Well done Max! ⭐️⭐️

🌟 Frances’ Swimmer of the Week is… George! 👏🏻

George absolutely smashed his lesson on Wednesday, managing to hold the longest star float in the whole lesson!

And because it was his BIRTHDAY, we obviously had to celebrate properly… with a very, VERY HUGE birthday splash! 💦

Amazing swimming this week, George - and a very happy birthday! KACHOW! 🚗
