Swimming Lessons

Classic - Josiah doing as he's told, and Jacob is in his own world...


I LOVE swimming lessons! I always loved them as a kid, and Josiah has always had SO much fun with them too! We've always done them right at the beginning of summer, but this year I decided to do it in the spring to help get some of the wiggles out untl the weather is warmer (it's been BEAUTIFUL this week though!) Anyways, it's Jacob's first time getting to take them, because they have to be 3. At first, he told me didn't want to go because he was afraid he would sink (random - never said that before), but was so excited to hear he would get to be in the same class as Josiah. I didn't know how it would work out, but it's been FAB! There are 3 other little girls in their class - 1 is on the same level as Josiah - swims great, but working on strokes, endurance, etc. One of the other girls is TERRIFIED of water, and the other little girl is about where Jacob is - can swim on her own, but just a little bit. Their teacher is great - Miss Ashley does WONDERFUL with the kids and is able to challenge the bigger kids, while still teaching the younger ones the fundamentals. It's been VERY fun - Callie's VERY frustrated that she doesn't get to get in too! :) We LOVE to swim!

That's great they are in the same class and you don't have to go 2 separate times!

How great that their class is so small. That would have been ideal for Grayson. I'm going to attempt his first class later this Spring! We're ready for the pool this SUmmer!!
