Summer Swim Lessons

The girls first full day of summer was busy running Carly’s EPIC business (see previous post). Jason and Katie spent the morning of their first summer day at swim lessons.  Unfortunately, Drew’s level was full and he couldn’t take lessons until later in the summer when all three of the littlers did a four day session. 

By the end of the second session Jason had progressed from a Youth 4 level to the highest Youth 5 level.  Some days Jason was the only kid is his class so it was great to get some extra attention.  Katie has a few skills left to work on before she can move up from Youth 2.  

People love Drew and he has the cutest little personality, but he often plays hard to get.   As a result, I wasn’t sure how Drew would take to swimming lessons.  He was totally pumped to go to the pool, but got miffed when his class didn’t start until after Jason and Katie’s was finished.  So when it came time to get in the pool he was less than thrilled.  In fact once in, he hung onto the little swim stand for probably half of the first the class.  I walked out of the pool and peeked on him from the window until he started cooperating.  He ended up loving the class, though he refused all week to put on the floaties and instead would just try to swim without any floatation.  The kid isn’t at all afraid of the water, he just wants to do it his own way.  Stinker.  Clearly he loved it.
