All of us in the DHG household are extremely proud of McGrew...
On Wednesday he managed to swim 10m on his own, no armbands. And he's got the certificate and badge to prove it!
Unfortunately I wasn't there to witness the athletic feat, but Mrs DHG was.
He tried once, and got halfway before stopping to hold on to the teacher. Mrs DHG thought he would give up, but no, he tried again - and got 8m across before sinking...
After a brief rest to gather all of his strength, he tried a third time - and got across. Helped not a little by Mrs DHG shouting encouragement from the viewing gallery!
By all accounts there were copious tears from Mrs DHG as she congratulated eldest son on his achievement... When asked how mummy was after his success, McGrew simply commented, 'She cried!'.
Well done McGrew!
