swimming lessons

Another year of swimming lessons are passed and improvement has been made with each child. It amazes me how in the matter of a few days, their skills can dramatically be sharpened. Tyson went from not being able to drive the first few lessons, to being fairly good at it the final lesson. Arm strokes look sharper and feet are now kicking with a purpose other than splashing. Swimming and summer go hand in hand at our house.

Going for the dive...

I had to chuckle as I could physically see his concentration.
He was so focused.
Incredibly determined.
And then, as most learning divers do, this happened...

Maybe next time :)

Blowing bubbles...

My little girl is a fish.
She has no hear.
And she surprised me with her skill.
She actually has some form when doing her strokes.

Here she is going off the board with her 'donkey'.
And no hesitation.

We had great teachers again this year!
My two middle kids have improved so much. I love to swim and I am so glad they do too!
