Thank you, Tim Murphy, for giving us the fun train whistle that we are able to use for reinforcement when our kiddos do amazing things like:  SMART FISH METHOD FREESTYLE.... for Grade 6 confident and competent swimmers (Pool Prodigies under the age of 4 years) 
- It is acceptable and usually recommended to teach them to breath every 2 strokes.  In this case, Robbie seemed to want to roll to both sides, so I patterned him to do Alternate or Bi-Lateral Breathing.  If this becomes his M.O for swimming freestyle, then we will call it Grade 6.9 Freestyle.  He is not at the Grade 6.9 level, however.  Robbie still needs to work on his backstroke skills.
