Swimming progress update III

One more class to go before completing my 8 weeks of summer lessons!  My front crawl is coming along - I have the individual motions for the arms and legs down, but when I try to put it all together, everything gets sloppy.  A bit more (read: a lot more) practice is required for that.  Learning to breathe would be nice, but that will have to wait until my form gets better.  I did discover that I can do 1/2 of a backstroke - I can kick and keep myself afloat and going pretty decently.  I'll try to add in the arms next time and see if that gets me going any faster.  Still can't tread water though - that and my front crawl will be my two big goals to finish up the summer.  Overall though, looking at where I was 8 weeks ago, I definitely feel like I've made some progress!
