She explained that it is typically challenging to have siblings in the same class, and wouldn't recommend it to anyone. She has noticed that Aidan feels like he's not doing very well, but she described him as a solid Stage 3 swimmer. Actually, he's quite a bit smaller than any of the other students in the class. The teacher told me that he is getting overshadowed by Austin.
The teacher explained that Austin is a very good swimmer, and that he doesn't know that he's good. He wants her to tell him when he's doing well, and he wants to know how he's doing, compared to others. She says he has good endurance and strength. She recommends that we register him in Stage 4 next time. She thinks he'll like it. It's about an hour-long workout.
When I watched Austin swimming this morning, I saw that he was easily overtaking the other swimmers, but sometimes swimming right on top of his little brother!
In the past, Austin has been wary of taking Stage 4 lessons, because the other name for that level, is "I Can Swim Fast."
