Swimming Lessons

Amy told me about a local lady that does swimming lessons. She had signed up Camryn and Gavin and we thought it would be fun for my boys to take lessons with her kids. Camryn started out in a class that met before Rylan's class and Rylan ended up being the only one in his class. After a few days Amy switched Camryn into Rylan's class and they had so much fun together! After their lesson Asher and Gavin had lessons with another little girl. During their lesson Ry and Camryn got to hang out in the hot tub and Ry was absolutely thrilled about that.

Their lessons were in the morning at 8:30 and 9:00--about they time they usually wake up! But they both jumped out of bed and changed into their swimsuits real fast when I woke them up each morning. Asher just loved being with Gavin. Of course he loved swimming but he loved it even more being with his buddy!

Jumping off the diving board and going down the slide were at the end of each lesson. The slide was definitely a favorite of all the kids!

They both did well and had lots of fun. Lessons were only one week and Rylan asked several times if I'd sign him up for another week. (I didn't) His teacher said he did a great job with his strokes while holding on to the side of the pool. But when he gets out in the water he kinda panics and forgets what he's supposed to be doing and just splashes water. I need to get my kids in the pool more to give them more experience. I'd love to put them in lessons for a longer period of time. I've considered a local indoor pool where they can take lessons for months at a time. Maybe the end of winter/early spring. I know they both need it!

Now I need to get them to the pool lots this summer!
