Hope your summer is off to a great start. Ours certainly is. I have great news to share! Today was Jon’s first day of the summer at camp. He took the swim test to evaluate his level and tested out of the shallowest end of the pool into the next deepest section (the pool is broken up onto 4 sections). In order to pass the test he had to do 10 bobs, swim underwater for a certain number of seconds and float on his back. Last year it took almost all summer for him to take the test. The year before he wouldn’t do it. Greg and I are so proud of him! The time he spent in the pool taking lessons with Team Hope has definitely built up his confidence in the water. Thank you and the volunteer coaches for everything you do. Your efforts make a such a big difference. Jon’s test and outcome today are proof of that!

I’ve attached a picture of him running off the bus to show Greg his green swim bracelet. I thought you’d appreciate the smile on his face.

Have a fun and restful summer!

Best regards,

Jen
