Swimming Lessons

It hasn't been summer until you have taken a couple of swimming lessons! For the past two weeks we have been going to swim lessons and the kids have really enjoyed them. We are not to Olympic status yet but, at least they are putting their faces in the water. I have never enjoyed swimming and really do not feel comfortable in water. Mike on the other hand is a fish and loves to swim and totally feels comfortable in the water. So far all my kids have my no swim gene and swimming is a struggle. This year the kids have made some progress. Jason will now do the front crawl, float and he is working on the back stroke. Anne will now put her head all the way under the water! So, our money was well worth it and hopefully next summer we will improve even more!

Anne floating with her teacher's help. She loved her swim teachers and always wanted her hair to look pretty for her teachers.


Eliza was a trooper through this all. She never cried or got angry about sitting in 100 degree weather to watch Sister and Brother swim. She loved running around and watching them. In a few years she will be in there with them!
