Swimming Lessons

Britton gained the courage to take the leap.
Parker practicing his front float. He does it so well.
We put all three of the boys in swimming lessons. They were all in different classes. Parker was in the preschool class. It consisted mainly of games, floating and blowing bubbles in the water. Parker loves the water and isn't afraid to put his face in the water. So must of the skills that were being taught weren't new and he really wasn't interest in what they were teaching. He would just go off and play by himself. After the first week he played better with the instructors and passed the class and now is ready for level one.
Bryson was in level 1 and did so good. He loved his class and all the friends he was able to meet. He learned all his floats and passed off all the different skills. He is ready for level 2. He wants to learn to swim so bad because he wants to jump off the diving board and go down the slides at Farmington Pool. He is so fun to watch because he gets so excited for all the fun new games. When he is finished with his lessons he always gives you the play by play(he doesn't forget a word and a thing that went on). He is so cute.
Britton was in level 2. He did very well. He passed off about half of the skills. He is terribly afraid of the deep end. Getting him to jump off the diving board was quite an experience. They put life jackets on all the kids and he still won't jump. He is definitely my most cautious child. He did eventually jump off the diving board with the life jacket but won't jump without it. So him and Bryson will be able to take level 2 together and that should be fun.
