Swimming Lessons

The boys have now gone to their last swimming lesson. We finished last Thursday and it just seemed to make the end of summer that much closer. The boys had such a good time at swimming and made incredible progress.
Hunter was dying to get swimming on his own. I think the class he was in was a little bit too easy as he was swimming small distances by himself when the other kids were learning the things he already knew. He will be happy to move on when we do our next session.
The last few days of swimming were pretty intense as they tested to be able to pass their class (which they all did), but they had some fun too. They each got to float around the pool in a life jacket, which was pretty fun for them.


McKay's favorite activity was pushing the stroller around, which meant that I followed him around. He kept charging the stroller toward the pool and when I would change his direction he would get so mad at me!
Can I tell you the relief I feel at seeing my boys be able to float and swim on their own. I now know that they can survive should they fall in a pool/lake. I have always been worried about my kids around water.



Lincoln couldn't find his goggles on this day and he did most of his swimming with his eyes shut :)




We had a great session and are going to try to get a couple more in this year after things calm down with school starting. I am bursting my buttons with pride and how well these boys did in their swimming class.
