Swim Lessons

My swimmers before their first day of swim lessons. Can you tell neither of them would cooperate for a picture?

We started a two week block of swim lessons on Monday. Lane is going on his own to class this year and Marlee is going to her class with Mommy or Daddy. Lane wasn't happy to go on his own today. He got upset when I left him with his teachers, but once the teacher picked him up and took him over to the pool he calmed down. Marlee did great in her class. We weren't sure how she would do, she is all over the place in the tub and she hadn't been in a big pool until today, she was a natural when we got into the water. She was so sweet and cute. Before class Lane filled Marlee in on what to expect. She was all ears. Lane's class. He is the last one on the right.

Marlee with me and our teacher working on blowing bubbles in the water. She didn't do it Monday, but Lane and I are working with her!

Lane on the right. In his class the kids sit on the side of the pool and take one on one turns with their teachers. Lane was between two boys at one point who were both kicking their legs and splashing. I saw Lane turn to the boy on his right and ask him to stop. The boy didn't stop and I watched Lane turn to him again and shake his finger at him while he asked him to stop. Hmmm... I wonder where he got that?

A little snippit of Lane in his class. On Monday they practiced jumping in and then swimming back to the egde to climb out. Lane cracks me up when he jumps in.


Marlee's class concludes with a little song every day. My little ladybug had a great time swirling in the water.
