The kids took 2 weeks of swimming lessons this summer with two of their really good friends. They made some HUGE improvements! Kate is now totally comfortable swimming around. She can do a couple different strokes and loves getting diving sticks from the bottom of the pool. James gained a lot of confidence. Before we started he refused to put his head under the water. Now he gladly swims back and forth between me and the wall over and over. He also likes to look for diving sticks on the steps. Sometimes I think he might have too much confidence because his ability doesn't always match. Sometimes he and I will be in the middle of the pool when he just lets go and starts to swim away, only to frantically swim back to me and come up sputtering. It's been such a nice summer for swimming and I'm going to be pretty sad when the pool closes.
