Swim Lessons Summer 2013
Swim lessons this summer were great. The boys all made really good progress which I'm so happy about. And as a mom, I really appreciate that coordinating the 3 different class levels worked out pretty darn well. It meant spending all morning at the pool with a snack break in between classes but it was great to be outdoors soaking in all that vitamin D. Also as a mom I appreciate that our class times happened to match up with those of some friends, two friends in particular that I don't get to see nearly as much as I would like, so that was really nice.
Joshua doing breaststroke (he learned butterfly too this summer but I didn't get a picture of it):
Lucas and Daniel ended up with private lessons for the last session. Score!
This one is too fun! I think it captures Lucas' exuberance to a T:
There goes Daniel in the deep end. He's come such a long way this summer:
Caden wasn't old enough for lessons this summer, he has to wait 'til next year. Even though it was a stretch for him to spend all that time at the pool and not get to swim, he gets points for being a real trooper. Every day he brought a backpack full of toy vehicles and became very popular among all the other "little brothers" at the pool. Way to make friends Caden and don't worry, you'll get your turn in the pool next summer!

Joshua has nice form. Way to go- getting them all swimming. I am still working on that. I admire your diligence to make it happen.
Tracy, it is a challenge to orchestrate each summer, but I think it has been worth it. Just do what you can with whoever you can and it should work out fine. Having kids start older has advantages, as they are able to progress much more quickly. The early exposure is nice, but not entirely necessary if it doesn't work out.
