It was important to me that Taylor who is 6 years old, get a jump start learning to swim. So while she was here last summer we went for a couple of private lessons at High Desert Oasis east of Bend. Kristie Lemon and her husband have a unique and beautiful swim and fitness spa nestled in the junipers and sage brush east of Bend. So for me, part of the reason for keeping the grand kids for a whole week this time was so that Taylor would have the opportunity to go for swim lessons 5 days in a row, so that each lesson could build on the next. In the top picture she is demonstrating that she has mastered floating, Below is a video, click the play button (arrow) to see it.Congratulations Taylor ! You are AWESOME !!! Good Job !!!
Taylor and Kristie
Taylor and Tage in front of the wishing pool bridge. Tage, (pronounced Tay- ge, like sage with a T) turned 2 on June 14.
If you are in the Bend area, I highly recommend Kristie if you know anyone of any age who needs lessons or to take water aeobics. She is a terrific encourager, as well as instructor and has a magic way with kids and using fun to accomplish the swimming maneuvers. They also do personal fitness training and have a beautiful spacious room full of weight training equipment. Let's see, seems to me there is also a juice bar, massage room and sauna ;0)
