Swimming Lessons

So the boys have been in swimming lessons at the YMCA this last session. Corban is taking his first class without Mom or Dad, Waterbug. He is pretty nervous, but goes. He starts with 30 minutes in the gym for a KinderGym class and then they take him to the pool. He is doing pretty well. We have learned by watching the teacher what we can do with him in the pool.





Caleb is in the Parent/Child swim program, Mighty Mites. He loves it and enjoys kicking a beach ball with his feet while laying on his back. Since we've learned from Corban's fear of going underwater, we have tried fun games with Caleb that involve underwater jumps and splashes. Caleb is getting pretty bold in the water! Dad sometimes gets the time off to swim with him.


*Well just yesterday, we took the kids to open swim and Corban swam with the only support being a noodle. This is huge for him. He has been so nervous if we let go of him. Now he wanted us to take our hands off the noodle so he could swim. He said his common line, "Mom and Dad happy!"
