Swimming Lessons

Wow, I’m horrible at blogging lately!  I just can’t ever seem to get to it when I have a bazillion other things I should or could do.  The main thing being planning preschool for Adam….I’ll post more about that next week when we start!

Adam took swimming lessons a few weeks ago.  He has been in lessons every summer since he was 6 months old.  However, you wouldn’t know it!  He’s my timid guy so every year it takes him almost the entire session of lessons to be able to go in the deep end without ripping his teacher’s arms off.  I think next year, when he’s 5 1/2 years old, I’ll be a little more adamant in his actually learning how to swim.  So far, it’s all about fun and exposure.  Which leads me to Abby.  I did parent and tot classes with her every Saturday in July.  She did ok the first 2 weeks, Nat took her the 3rd week and said she cried the whole time.  I took her the 4th and final week and she SCREAMED until I gave up and took her out.  Maybe Caleb will be my water baby??  I’m sure it doesn’t help that we haven’t taken the kids “fun swimming” at all this year.  That’s what a newborn will do to you I guess.

Anyway…..on to pictures of Adam’s swimming lessons!  (I did not get any pictures of Abby for obvious reasons, I was in the pool!)

The swim school strongly suggested goggles.  Despite the fact that they left big red marks on his face, he loved his cool goggles!

On the last day of class he made some major improvements!  Here he is floating on his back with just a little support from his teacher.

Nat was out of town on the last 2 days of class so I had to cart the 2 other kids with me.  Of course when I was taking pictures of Adam, Abby required me to take about 50 pictures of her and her “friends”.DSCN4038

Mr. Caleb was pretty good, despite it being a chilly one day.  He kept busy by chatting with his cow buddy.DSCN4002
