The kids started their swim lessons at the Y this week. The best part is the pool is heated and indoors, which means we don't have to spend 10 minutes lathering on sunscreen and it doesn't matter if it's a cloudy, windy day out. I'm very happy with the classes so far and the kids seem to be doing well. The class size is small. Emily has 2 instructors for 5 kids and Ben's is 4 kids with one instructor.Emily is in a second level class. Here she is learning to float.
Ben is in the first class they offer. He's doing really well.
Emily was practicing some of what she learned in class afterwards. I'm so proud of her. She is already holding her breath for longer after only 2 classes.
The classes are great as they really focus on technique. Emily was learning backstroke today and they teach freestyle. The underwater "frog" technique is apparently not lifeguard and swim instructor approved. Ha!
I'm just glad they are having a good time.

Very cool! Happy to see they're doing well.
The important thing is they will learn how to swim and know what to do in case of an emergency ( in the water)
They are so cute :)
Love,

Fun! :) Sarah was 7 when she started her swim lessons and is a great swimmer today. She was the oldest one in the beginning class, but that's when she was ready - before that she hated water, but now to see her - she's a fish and it's hard to imagine a time when she didn't love it.
