Swimming Lessons

The first week of swimming lessons was pretty darn cold...in the 50s some days with some rain. But we braved it and even stayed after most days to swim some more. Then the rain finally stopped! It has been over 3 weeks of rain here and that is pretty unusual for sure. We were getting tired of the song "It's raining, it's pouring, the old man is snoring...."

This last week was the second week of lessons and the weather was awesome. Perfect temps for us. Stevie loved her first round of lessons and had a smile on her face the entire time. Very proud of her. Jake loves his class this time too. He had boy teachers and that was a big hit. He is very comfortable in the water and loves to go under and swim for a bit. His problem is he is so crazy in his movements and can't relax enough to actually swim further. Steve is going to work with him more. And Kelly didn't have lessons but she loved the time in the pool later on. She kicks her feet like a little polliwog and loves to splash.

Even though it is hectic getting all of the prep work done to get to the pool with all 3 kids, pack lunches, make sure they aren't drowning etc....it has been worth it. I have truly enjoyed seeing the excitement on their faces every time they realize it is another pool day.
