Spring is here, the weather is getting warmer, and so it is time for swim lessons for the kids. The kids didn't have swim lessons last year, so I decided to start early with lessons this year. Dylan was excited about starting the lessons, but tentative once we were at the pool. He is now old enough to have a private lesson without me being in the pool (yeah!) but he wasn't so sure about the new teacher. Once he was in the pool and comfortable kicking his legs, he started smiling and laughing and had a grand time jumping into the pool from the side. He was reluctant to put his face in during the lesson, but he was putting his head under during play time.
Gina and Andrew are getting some lessons as well. At first I didn't think we would have time with their other activities, but I was able to cram in 4 lessons this week because of spring break. Gina is better at swimming right now and is comfortable in the deep end of a pool, but she is learning to breathe by turning to the side and the backstroke. Andrew needed more help but he is very enthusiastic and is catching up to Gina quickly.
They are taking lessons at the same pool Gina started at when she was 2 years old. Here she is floating in the pool at 4 years old...
and here she is 5 years later.
