Swim Lessons

I didn't do swim lessons with my kids last summer,

so it was necessary to do them this year.

I wasn't super satisfied with their lessons this time,

but it was better than nothing.

Ash is a very timid swimmer. He is very comfortable

when he can touch, but as you can tell from the

picture, off the diving board into the deep

water, NOT a huge fan. The teacher literally

had to drop him off the board.  But he is gaining

confidence (slowly) and that is what matters!

 Kaipo is a complete fish, with no fear.

So he is just in need of some serious stroke

development.  He got a little, but still has a

ways to go.  I always say IF I had my own

pool, my kids would all know how to swim!

 Ame is also great in the water and is gaining

more and ability.  She was introduced to

butterfly, but mostly worked on freestyle

and breaststroke.  Don't think her our Kaipo

are ready for the swim team yet

(nor do I think they have a desire),

 but they have tremendous confidence!

Which makes me feel good about letting

them be on their own and be just fine.

And most of all they LOVE being in the water.

So we are in for many fun days this summer

of SWIMMING!!
