Swim Lessons

I decided it was about time for the kids to start swim lessons. I haven't really been putting it off, I just kept forgetting to call and get them registered. Well I finally got aroung to it and there were two sessions left for the summer, so we signed Parker and Paige up. They were super excited and asked me daily when they would be starting. Finally the day came and they were so happy. They both started out in level 1 and Parker moved up to level 2 on the first day because he could put his head fully under water for so long. He moved up to a class that had 10 other kids and was quite large. The first couple of days I was worried that he wasn't learning anything because it didn't seem like he was paying attenetion and the teachers, who are teenagers, weren't helping him out as much as the could have. But it is getting better, I am not sure he will 100% pass this level and may be in it one more time, which I would rather have him know the skills and then advance rather than advance just because. So we are just finishing up the second week and we will see how he does. Paige loves being in the water and just seems to play and learn to get comfortable with her face getting wet. She has gone off the diving board several times and showed absolutely no hesitation about it. She cried last Friday when there weren't any lessons because she wanted to go so bad. So she is absolutley loving it. I guess, them having a good time and learning something along the way is totally worth the money spent on the lessons!
