Learning to Swim

I signed both of the big kids up for swimming lessons this year which means we spent the past two weeks at the pool!  Two full weeks of back floats, front floats, flutter kicks, 'ice cream scoops' and other fun in the water...

L has become quite a little fish,

doing many of the skills all by herself!

I Man, on the other hand, agreed to go under water on the second day and said he was never doing it again.

  

True to his word, he escaped the dreaded 'water in the face' for the next 8 days despite lots of encouragement from his teachers.  :)

LJ was there every day too, he just might be their biggest fan.

They're pretty fond of him, too.

Today, L got to do both the diving board and the slide.  Oh, and her teacher said that she is "more than ready for level two" - woo hoo!

And so, another year of learning to swim is officially in the books on the blog.
