The kids had their first swim lesson last night! They will be going 2 nights a week for 5 weeks. Both are in the pool at the same time, just with different instructors. Works great for me!
They were so nervous before the lesson. Neither of them is very comfortable in the water. Both have had instances where they have fallen in the water and freaked out.
Caymus was last year when we were on our cruise. He was playing in the water next to the pool and the ship rocked and in he went. Marshall was right there to pull him out, but it scared the poo out of him!
Lucy was also last year. We were at Lake Shasta with friends and she was in the inner tube with Ty, they both had life jackets on and having a blast. They kept giving us the "faster" signal...we hit a bump and out she went! Again Marshall was there to save her. He dove off the back of the boat fully clothed and swam out to her while we turned the boat around. The first thing she said when he got to her was "I thought I was going to Die" Heart wrenching to a parents ears.
So needless to say, swim lessons were definitely needed!
Once they got in the water they were just fine. They put their heads underwater and everything!
As soon as they got out of the pool they said they could not wait till the next lesson! YAY!
Lucy kick boarding her way across the pool.

awesome...I keep meaning to take at least Banden in for swim lessons (being the oldest) and it never seems to happen, urgggg. I was going to take him to mommy and me swim lessons when he was a wee little one and now he's almost four and it still hasn't happens...I'm a horrible mother I know.
Despite having taken swim lessons, none of my kids can swim. I need to get them signed up again!
