Swimming Lessons

Merrilee's in pink, Jacob's in orange. Both are doing great and having a blast. This week was their first time taking formal lessons, and Merrilee was moved up to level 2 within the first five minutes of the first class. She's built for swimming and I think she has a future of being a very strong swimmer. Jacob loves to swim and can swim underwater just fine, but the moment he stops moving he sinks like a rock. Lessons will do them both good.

Learning to tread water in the deep end



Swimming on her back the second day of classes


Learning to have confidence on his back


Safety lessons before each class



Practicing the back stroke --Notice, she's the smallest kid in the class.
