Blue wrist bands

Tuesday was a milestone day for my girls.  They each passed the swimming test at the Y that allows them to swim in the zero entry pool without an adult.  By passing the test, their names are put in a database and each time we swim at the Y, Katie and Allie get a blue wristband which helps the lifeguards identify the kids that can swim on their own. It is also a cool thing because it gives my girls confidence in their abilities to swim, we can go to swimming lessons early and practice before lessons, and it helps me motivate my girls to get out of the house and get going on some cold Tuesday mornings.  Way to go Allie and Katie!
