Adventures in Swimming!





(waiting for lessons to start)

So we signed the kids up for swim lessons this year at the city pool. It's everyday for 30 minutes for 2 weeks. The kids got lucky had have a few friends in each of their classes. Zachary is in the pre- school class and most of the time they pretend to be wild animals in the water and walk back and forth from wall to wall.

Here is Zach making his way across the pool. Notice the goggles on his head. He is in 2 ft of water!! Always prepared!

At the end of class their teacher lets them jump in! This is the kids
favorite part of class! Zachary and his friend Verl will jump at least 10 times!

Zachary mid jump!


All done!




We put Madison in the level 1 class, which we knew would
test her water skills! The first day she would only put her face in the
water and today (day3) she was going all the way under!! Her
teacher is really good about making her face her fears
and tells her if she doesn't participate she can leave! We'll just say that she
now fully participates!!
She claims that the goggles made her brave!!

What a great reminder to face my fears! Maybe I need some goggles too! The kids are so darn cute!!
