Swim Lessons Wrap-up

The kids got to PLAY on the slides the last day of class. The indoor slide is a BIG twisty one and Ame was too scared to go on her own, as were most of the other kids, so she went down with her Substitute Teacher (we were sad her REAL teacher was sick on the last day). Afterwards she said she could have EASILY done it on her own, but she couldn't go again cuz they blew the whistle to get out. Maybe next time BIG girl!

Ame has made some great improvements this time. She is proud of herself

for what she has learned, and so is mom and dad! Way to go little mermaid!!

Kaipo LOVES being in the water!

I was very impressed at how well his teacher did with Kaipo and she
was VERY patient with him. He did GREAT for his first independent lessons.
He really LOVES to put his face in the water too!

As you can see from the video, OUR biggest challenge was getting Kaipo to STAY on the step when it wasn't HIS turn. Mom got a little TOO frustrated sometimes, watching all the other kids sitting so properly on the step and having to somewhat calmly ask Kaipo repeatedly, "Stay on the step and wait your turn". Sitting still is just NOT possible for this little guy! We are glad you enjoy the water soo much, and hope you always will be our little fishy. I am really proud of your accomplishments with swimming Buddie. Way to go!
