This summer the kids did two sessions of swimming lessons. We went to a different pool than we have in the past, and I was thrilled with their progress. (Poor Ruth just hung out on the side with me during the other kids' lessons.)
Miriam really overcame a lot of her fears of the water. She would willingly play in the water by going under and getting the rings off the bottom. She learned some basic strokes and was starting to try to breathe.
Joseph loves the water. He gained a lot of confidence as well as started to learn some floats and kicks. He loved it so much that I took the kids to the pool one afternoon and the lifeguard nearly had to jump in and save him because he thought he could swim. He'd been doing it in lessons, right?
Rebecca is a good little swimmer. She knows all the basic strokes and is working on being able to swim the length of the pool. I'm glad that it is something she enjoys!
