For the past 7 weeks SWIM LESSONS have ruled our lives! The kids and I have gotten pretty tan and the kids have improved SO MUCH in their swimming skills! I'm so proud of the all they have learned. The first 3 wk session was hard for Ellie. She didn't like putting her face under water and cried every day for three weeks. The only way I could get her not to cry while waiting her turn with Mrs. Jennifer was to hold her hand as she sat on the step in the pool. By the second and third sessions she was dunking her own head under water and playing. She loves kicking up and down, finding the wall, blowing bubbles and doing monkey walks along the wall of the pool to the step. At the end of the third session she was even jumping off the diving board!
Gavin has always loved the water and loved learning to swim better. By the end of the third session he learned freestyle, backstroke, breast stroke and butterfly. His best stroke is surprisingly the butterfly and then the breast stroke. We are still working on breathing to the side during freestyle, but he has improved SO MUCH!
During the last week of swim lessons the kids were surprised to see Daddy had come to watch them swim!
