Yippee! Veronica Got Her "B"...

After just a few more lessons, Veronica got to take her test for her 2nd swimming diploma as part of a large group in mid-January. It was fun seeing what a big deal these tests are. She was thrilled that there was another big girl there; the other 34 kids were mostly 6- and 7-year-olds. As you can see, this exam started with her dressed in long pants and long-sleeved shirt. The test is basically an extended version of the last one, again stressing survival skills. There were scuba divers in the water taking photos of the 6-meter underwater swim through a hoop, but they missed getting one of her. Ashlynn continues to make progress, but it'll be awhile before she'll be ready for her first diploma test.
