After his four initial swimming lessons, Andrew was doing great! His confidence in the water has soared, and he is very close to swimming on his own! The one thing that was giving him trouble was constantly stopping to wipe his eyes...so on his teacher's recommendation, we got him a pair of goggles, which he had in time for the last lesson. What a difference for him! (The flash sure made the goggles look funny in this pic)!
So, we decided to put him in for another round of lessons, knowing he wouldn't have as much opportunity to practice his newly found skills much otherwise. (I just need to bite the bullet and commit to taking all three of them to open swim, and trust that Anna will cooperate nicely sitting in her carseat by the pool). Needless to say, he's loving his swim lessons, and loves being able to keep his eyes open underwater!
Jacob really does seem to enjoy watching the proceedings...just seemed a bit sleepy this day!
Jacob and I spend at least part of each lesson cozied up together on the pool deck!
