Swimming Swimming in the Swiming Pool.......


We've been taking swim lessons for the past month from a lady who is tough love lessons. Jane wanted to do it after see saw her cousins Chloe & Sadie swimming like fish. Ike and Cal wanted to dive and swim like Jack Sparrow. I put Jane in first and she survived and the boys still wanted to do it. Ike is doing really well, but Cal is still struggling. It's only been a week though, so we'll see by the end. Jane is great. She is now on what's call "Swim Team" where they get to practice and learn to swim in a group. It's been fun for her.


Jane's watching the boys. Trying to encourage them.

Diving in, her favorite!


This is Ike, they put them up on the side to get all the water out of their tummies. They swallow a lot of water at first.

Floating

By the second lesson both Ike and Cal could float on their backs.



Loving the water!

When Cal doesn't want to do it anymore, he just gives her a BIG HUG!


Practicing in the tub!




It's been quite the experience, a lot of work and a big investment, but all three are doing good. Cal isn't liking it as much as the other too, but he hasn't been in it as long. It'll get better I'm sure. I am just excited for this summer when going to the pool will be so much more enjoyable for us all! I haven't really dared take all three by myself, now we are looking forward to it. YAY!!!
