Swim Lessons with Mom

This summer the boys and I found time to go to our neighborhood pool and have swim lessons. I grew up teaching swim lessons, so it is only fitting that I teach my own kids how to swim. We hardly ever get to do this during the wintertime... so they had some catching up to do.

Krue is at a point where he can swim doggy paddle by himself with only two floats, blow bubbles, jump in on his own, float on his back, and tread water with his floats on.

Kiefer is at a point where he can swim doggy paddle (with me holding on for support) with three floats. He can blow bubbles, jump in on his own, float on his back (with my support), and he almost went off the diving board (chickened out at the last minute)!

Since we go to the lake so often, it is important to us that the boys learn how to swim well. Hopefully by next summer Krue will be swimming without the floats.

A couple of weeks ago we had a lesson in Baba and Papa Joe's pool. Luckily, Baba was around to take some pictures of our fun time.
