Final Swimming Lesson of the Season: Excelling at Recreational Activities

While he's got more work to do on the basics of swimming, Dexter certainly enjoyed swimming to capture a ball and throw it in the goal. His form when swimming to the ball leaves a lot to be desired - he looks like he's riding a bicycle underwater.

I think holding the ball and focusing on getting to the goal distracted him from his fear - his form is much more horizontal and he's kicking his legs behind him rather than underneath him!
Dexy was thrilled when he got the ball in the goal exclaiming with a huge smile, "I got it in and the net fell down!"
He also really enjoyed riding the "turtle". Initially he was worried about going into the "deep" end of the pool but he quickly got over it.
