Swimming lessons

Swimming lessons went really well this summer for the kids. Kaitlin was excited to go as she loves to swim. She doesn't mind swimming laps and trying her best. She is getting stronger in the water and her dives are getting better too! She passed 2 levels and will be in level 8 next summer!

Dawson and Kortney were a little nervous and so was I not knowing how it would go. Dawson loves the water as well, I just wasn't sure if he'd try all that he needed to do. Well I was very glad when Dawson jumped in and couldn't get enough of classes. He faced his fear of jumping in the deep end and not once did he give anything a second thought. He did all he needed to do to pass 2 levels! Next year he will be going into level 4!

I didn't need to be nervous about Kortney either. There were no tears shed and by the third day she was dunking her head by herself and loving it. She had a little trouble getting her feet off the floor of the pool by herself. Instead she'd put her head in, wave her hands and kicked her feet on the bottom of the pool.Only with Ang's help could she get into a swimming position. But that's ok. She made a lot of progress in two weeks and had fun too!
