First of all, J HATES having water on his head or in his eyes. Washing his hair is always a little stressful and he just isn't super adventurous in the water. We took lesson from Mrs. Carol, who has taught all levels of swimmers for 33 years, and it shows! Not only is she an amazing swim teacher, but a caring woman who loves the Lord. What a blessing she was/and is to us. By the end of the 10 days, J was holding his breath under water, jumping from the side and swimming to me, and retrieving rings from the steps of the pool. I was truly blown away!
Retrieving rings to get used to kicking in the water.
Not so sure about swimming under the water at first. But, he was a trooper!
Songs and games to make it fun! Did I mention she is an awesome teacher?
Not a fan of the back float. Thankfully, the pool was in the SW fly path!
Swimming through a hula hoop!
Retrieving rings!!! I was so proud.
Lots of reassurance was needed at first.
J's favorite..."The wheels on the bus!"
Jumping in!
We can't wait to practice our new skills this summer!
