Another round of swimming lessons is under our belt. The kids did great. This is the first year that Caitlyn didn't take lessons, she said she was ok to not take them. Brenden did great and has developed into quite a good swimmer. He likes to swim, especially if he has goggles. That is the only way I think he learned to like water, he was a little unsure of the water when he first started lessons. He learned the breast stroke, and the butterfly this year. He says the butterfly is hard, especially the kick.
Adessa is my little fish. She has always liked the water and has never been scared of it. She was the one I thought would jump off the little kid stand and go under. I think she only did that once! Her favorite stroke is the front crawl. She just likes to swim, as you can see from some of the photos. She always has a smile on her face. She likes to dive for things, she too loves goggles. She likes to jump off the diving boards. Grandma Jean was quite impressed she went off the High Dive with no hesitation. She did well and can't wait to go swimming again and again and again!
Carter on the other hand is quite cautious of water. He did the toddler class for two years and actually did pass it because he wouldn't float with floaties on his own. He was deathly afraid. We conquered that slightly this spring and he moved to level 1. He did pretty good. He is getting braver. He continued to practice boobing under the water, he was excited when he went "most" of the way under. He did get dunked one time by the lifeguard and boy was he surprised. His face was priceless. I just gave him a "thumbs up" and then he smiled. He is a little unsure on his back, I suggest he relax a little as his neck is so tight and he is so tense but he assured me he was. He did do a back float on his own a few times. He is getting braver and braver and as soon as he is a little bit taller I am sure he will become a fish too! IT was fun watching the kids although I melted everyday!! That pool balcany is one hot sauna!
Getting ready to go under!!
Plugging his nose! Being oh so brave!
HE did it! Love his face each and every time!!
