10/18-10/31/15: Breaststroke, Route Reading, and Emotions.

Start working on your monster growl!  In Swimming we'll learn some frighteningly freaky breaststroke.  In Climbing we will try not to squish our monster friends as we learn how to follow a route.  In Yoga we will get our scare on and talk about emotions.
