Swim Lessons - August 6th, 2011

Ethan and Becca are LOVING their swim lessons this summer. Both kiddos have always been naturally comfortable in the water... perhaps it has something to do with the enormous swimming pool that I provided for them for 9 months... ;-)




Chris has spent the majority of the time with Becca in her swim lessons. She is a natural little floater and would rather lap up the water with her tongue than blow bubbles, but she's having a great experience with her first parent-child swim class.














Ethan is in his first independent (non-parent) swim class this year. I was a bit nervous about how he would do and if he would be comfortable going with a stranger in the water while I watched from the side. But, as always, he amazed me and went right in with the swim teacher and after his very first lesson he was dunking himsef under the water and after 3 lessons he is (sort of) swimming under water... He was the best in his class last week when they were learning how to float on his back... I am SO proud of how quicky he is picking up the lessons he is being taught and how well he is doing listening and following direction with his swim teacher. He's such a great little guy and makes me proud with every challenge that he faces with seemingly no fear at all.
