Swim lessons - Bo ready to move up to the next level

Last Saturday, Bo almost moved up to the next level in swim lessons. In order to do so, he has to accomplish two things on his own. He is suppose to swim from the flags to the end all by himself and not below water the whole time. Below is a video of him successfully completing that part. The second thing is to float on his back, perfectly still for a few seconds which has done previously.

As you can see, he swam to the edge of the pool fairly easily. He immediately climbed out and wouldn't do anything else. The teach (lady standing on the side in the black) thought he was scared to move up to the next level, level 4 because he has to do more of swimming on his own. He was acting really strange and wouldn't answer any questions nor get back in the pool so I didn't think that was the issue. Besides, all he has talked about since he started was moving from level 3 to level 4. They have pictures of all the levels at the door which he examines every lesson. As it turns out, Bo still has an ear infection and the antibiotic he has  been on isn't working since he has been on so many. This means we are going to try another one.

Hopefully, it kicks in before this Saturday so he can complete his two tests again then move up to level 4.

Emily is doing lessons too but she is still young and not doing the levels yet. She has been going every Saturday morning too and doing what the teacher asks her.
