Swim Lessons

We have finally spent enough time at home this summer for the kids to take a session of swimming lessons. They all did fabulously and really progressed a lot. Davis learned to love the water even more than he did before. He can now go down the slide by himself and he can jump off the diving board if someone is there to catch him. Jadee learned the crawl stroke and can float on her back by herself. She said to me on her second day of lessons, "Mom, yesterday I couldn't swim. Today I can!" That was a pretty accurate assessment. Jeron practiced strokes he already knows and learned some new ones. He's almost ready for swim team. We had two days cancelled because of lightening, so the Y is sending us coupons for the next session. Lucky kids! They get to take some more lessons.
