Swimming, swimming, in the swimming pool...

Several Reading Campers are not totally comfortable with swimming at the beginning of Reading Camp. It's often a confidence thing. They've never been around the water, have had a bad experience in the water or the pool is just something scary to them that they've never succeeded in - which is sometimes similar to their reading troubles.

For many campers, the confidence they gain making progress swimming during the week is comparable to the progress they make in the learning centers. Regardless, everyone loves spending time in the pool.

Swimming
Swimming
In the swimming pool
When it's hot
When it's cold
In the swimming pool
Backstroke
Sidestroke
Fancy dive, or two
Oh, I wish there was nothing else to do...
