swimming lessons

The kids had a session of swimming lessons this summer, including Jordan. He was quite a fan of the water, but not so much having to follow directions and instruction. He would rather be free to play of course! He did really well though, and ended up learning to do all of the tasks by the end. Surprisingly blowing bubbles was the hardest thing to get down. But he did it and realized that either you suck in water or....oh I can blow it out!! haha
The girls did really well and learned better swimming technique and will advance to the next level next year. Which will be good, because their class met right next to Jordan's and sometimes they would get distracted by wanting to be with him or "show him something"
Ryan was a super swimmer, and learned better swimming technique as well as treading water and diving off the diving board. He was a good sport about it and did really well. Maybe a swim team in the future??
We have all been enjoying the water this summer, not in it as much as Arizona summers but glad to have a pool we can go to if we want. We usually end up at the Hotels pool just down the road since it is nice an close and we have a monthly pass there. Close, cheap and convenient my 3 favorite C's!

Overcoming fear is the biggest hurdle and I know Ryan and the girls had no fear. Glad they could progress.
