We signed the boys up for winter swimming lessons! Their lessons are on Saturdays, and thankfully they both got the same time slot. They were both a little slow to warm up, but they LOVE it now.
The instructors thought Emmett could handle a lot, so on the first day they had him doggie paddling from one side of the pool to the other in 5 feet deep water. He was discouraged at first, because he said it was hard. Paul and I were thankful he was being challenged. Now he is a month into it, and he is progressing A LOT! He can swim half across the pool (the width way) before taking a breath, and his form is improving as well.
Nate cried a bit and was fearful on the first day, but has since warmed up to his instructor and now loves it! He dips his face in the water and jumps to her without holing on to her hand. These are the two things he is most proud of. We are very fortunate that he is only in a class of two, and the other girl has been absent the last two sessions. So that means he has had a lot of one on one time.
