At the YMCA, kids have to wear color-coded bracelets in the pool. Red means you need to wear a life jacket and be with a parent. All kids automatically get those. But to get a yellow - being allowed in the big pool without a life jacket, you have to do a swim test.
She still has tons of fun with Max in the little pool but she was pumped and we were proud when she took the swim test and earned her yellow bracelet!
In summer 2017, she seemed to master swimming underwater...but this year she's really improved upon staying afloat above water. I'd gotten her (and Max) a goggles set before vaca 2017 that came with nose plugs and she quickly became obsessed with them. Her swim instructor really encourages her to swim without them but she still uses them a lot.
