Summer Swimming

Drew just completed another round of swim lessons this morning and he's improving so much! We're so proud of our little fishy...well, technically he is a Seal now, not a fishy, but you know what I mean. These lessons were 4 days a week for 2 weeks and were perfectly timed before preschool. As always, he loved his teacher, listened well, and displayed no fear whatsoever.

Here's some pictures and short videos I took on parent observation day and the last day of class.

Let's get this class started--last one in's a rotten egg!


Here's Drew demonstrating the backfloat. He seems to be more comfortable swimming on his back in general.


I love this picture. His poor teacher. Could my child look more spastic?

Drew is always so happy in the warming pool.

On the last day of class they usually show the kids water rescue equipment, practice with life jackets, and then have some fun on the slides and diving boards.

Here's Drew going down the slide with the junior lifeguard.

Drew was the youngest in his class and yet, the only one, who would jump off the diving board without holding the teacher's hand. Here he is preparing.

And...his jump!
