SUMMER SWIMMING LESSONS: A NET SUCCESS

THIS IS THE LAST WEEK OF MY YEARLY SWIMMING LESSONS. We have been at Klein High this year and we have been packed. Alot of great kids, parents and grandparents. Coach Teague's daughter, Kirby, has been a big help. She is very athletic and works well with everyone, especially the children.

I am exhausted after six weeks, five hours a day, four days a week. There is a special joy in doing something different and seeing the kids mature and develop skills to last a life time. Always joy at the end of the session--- really push the kids to go up and down the pool without the board-- they have the skills--- just need to believe and give it a try--- majority really step out of the box. After fourteen years of teaching for KISD in the summer, I can say that the environment is positive, the kids really want to learn and I love the indoor pools. ( My friend Marg. made me take life saving at SHSU over 40 years ago & I still love to swim and teach swimming-- friends can be a positive influence! Thanks Marg. Brown)

Life has been opportunities and one has to step out of the box to enjoy.

I am looking forward to our fall and spring tennis seasons. I know that my players have been working hard and I hope we get more players who want to work hard, play, have fun & achieve. We welcome Coach Lang to our tennis family-- new assistant tennis coach.

Be sure to support Bob and Mike-- US Open is around the corner. So many activities before the tournament---always check out www.bobandmike.com for more info.
