Swim Lessons '07

This past week the boys had swim lessons. They go to a place called Swim Ranch, which we LOVE. We have been taking lessons there since Avery was 1. Finley is in the water babies class. A parent goes in the water with them in water babies and Mrs. Virginia teaches the lesson. I love her, she is just a sweet, sweet grandma. Last summer was Finley's first summer and he hated it. He was "that kid." He cried and fought the entire week. He was not a fan of water in general. I knew this summer was going to be better because he has slowly warmed up to water over the year. He really enjoyed it this year and had a ball splashing, kicking & blowing bubbles.

Here we are in Finley's class . . .

AJ got to come one day and do water babies with Finley . . .

Finley resting after his class. He got to eat his lunch while Avery did his "big kid" class.This year was Avery's first year to be in the afternoon lane class. Each lane has 4 children and 2 teachers. It is great because there's not a lot of waiting around time. Avery LOVED it. He loves the water and always has. When he was in water babies, he wouldn't even let me hold on to him, (whereas Finley, had a death grip on me the whole time). Avery learned a lot and grew even more confident in swimming and holding his breath under water.

Here is Avery in his class (he's in the middle with his awesome TYR goggles on) Avery swimming under water . . . Avery jumping off the "jumping board" . . .All in all, it was a great time, exhausting, but great.
