Swim lessons

Swimming season has begun! Today we started swim lessons. Last summer after group lessons in June, I felt the boys needed more, so I signed them up for private lessons with a gal who had once been Joshua's group swim teacher when he was 3. However, this year I decided to forgo the group lessons at the city pool and just go straight to private lessons.

Even after just one day, I am SO glad I made that choice! They both did so well today and have made huge progress. I am excited to see what will happen over the next few weeks!

Here is Michael blowing bubbles. And swimming with his teacher's help.
Joshua getting ready to "dive" in. Ready....
set.....
go!
He made it nearly across the pool on the first try! I was very excited!

Hooray for swimming lessons!

Looks like fun! I may go that route next year, but I already signed up for lessons at the city pool. Oh well!

The boys look like they were enjoying the lesson. She did good to get Michael to blow bubbles.

Joshua looks so happy swimming.
