Nitro Swim- Passing levels 7 and 8

This week at swimming Secret Agent Man put on his rocket pack and blasted through the water.  His backstroke was amazing.

It was obvious he had really been practicing during the week.
I recorded this





and then immediately after he attempted the 20 yard swim.  I was so amazed at his form and speed that I forgot to record it!

He was very eager to get in the water and take his turn......


He passed Level 7 easily and moved onto Level 8.  This is the level I have been waiting for.  The safety level.

He has to demonstrate bobs in the water, a survival float and also jump in and recover to the wall.

Here he demonstrates the survival float.


He passed level 8 the same day!

He had about 10 minutes left to start practicing for level 9.  Level 9 is five strokes freestyle, flip onto back to breath, flip back over, 5 strokes freestyle, etc. for 20 yards.


Very impressive progress in 9 (or 10?) short weeks.  From barely being comfortable putting his face into the water to this!
