Swim Lessons

The big kids have been taking once-a-week swim lessons for about a month now, and the great instruction coupled with my bribery has resulted in some impressive gains!  The girls have gone from refusing to get their faces wet at all to now voluntarily dunking their whole heads underwater for a few moments at a time.  And I can’t get enough of Jimmy splashing around in the pool like a little wet puppy dog; he’s progressing even faster than his sisters.  They just started using goggles and they’ve helped to increase the kids’ confidence quite a bit, even though they look goofy!

Here’s a video of a recent lesson.  I’m so proud of them!  (You’ll have to excuse the first few blurry seconds of the video where Danny was busy trying to yank the phone out of my hands!).
