Swimming Lessons
Thursday, February 26, 2015
Seth's class finished up the 2 week course talking about safety in and around the water:
During this break, off-track, we were able to bring Chloe's friend Mary and her little brother with us. Chloe and Mary, especially had fun during this class, it was made up of all girls with a man for a teacher... 
On the last day of classes they teachers give the kids some free time to ride down the slide but my kids love to jump of the diving board:
I can never get a good shot with the wall of windows behind them...
Seth had to take Wave 4 for the second time but this is his face when he learned he passed this time!!!
They are so funny. Thanks to year round school schedules we have been able to sign up for swim lessons while they are off track in the cooler months. After growing up with a small pool in our yard and swimming at bear lake, I didn't think they would need lessons. Something about being in the middle of a lake and not being able to see or touch the bottom really freaked them out. They were so excited to go to swimming lessons the very first time. When they learned it wouldn't be an open plunge, Seth especially, voiced that they didn't need any more lessons. They have taken Wave 2, 3 & 4 and have become really strong swimmers. Chloe is really fast and has some natural skill and endurance. Seth doesn't have a extra ounce of fat on his body and has a hard time staying afloat. But they both have improved so much and really are enjoying themselves!!!Read more...
