Swim Lessons

Last week we finished up our first session of Swim Lessons. Both of the boys received a ribbon for completing their lessons. They were so excited! We are now moving on to session 2 and Beckham finally decided that he is "going to be brave". And sure enough he has not cried since the decision was made. Both of the boys learned a lot the first session and I expect that they will learn even more by the end of next week when session 2 is over. Miss Tara said Cooper should be swimming the short length of the pool. As for now they both can swim for as long as they can hold their breaths. Beckham and I went swimming the other day and he loved showing me his skills. He even wanted to go to the bottom of the pool to get a ring. It did not seem right pushing a two year old down to the bottom of the pool. None the less, he came right back up with the ring and a big smile. Cooper is now learning to do side breathing. It is challenging for him so when we go swimming at home he does not even want to get out of the shallow end. We love spending time at the pool. Thank goodness for swimming lessons.
