Summer Swimming Lessons

We are just finishing up our second round of swimming lessons at the Kroc Center. Spencer has improved leaps and bounds, mainly getting to be more comfortable in the water, relaxing, and trusting his teacher. He still doesn't like putting his face in the water, which is kind of a problem in swimming(LOL!), but hopefully with time he'll do better with it! (He has never liked having water in his face, even in the bath.) He did love getting in the water every day, being in the same class as his buddy, Andy, and the "hot" showers to rinse off afterward.

Kylene also has done really well. She is now swimming and floating like a pro! It has been fun to watch her improve and get more comfortable in the water. She still doesn't like going where she can't touch the bottom of the pool, but did have the courage to jump off the diving board with her life jacket on.

Skyler was a trooper, going with me each day and patiently waiting at the side of the pool. He is definitely a water boy and (especially at first) really, really wanted to get into the water, but finally learned that it wasn't swimming time for him...yet.
