Swim Lessons

We had swim lessons at the first of June. Rachel and Katie were in the same class, then Sarah took the class after. They all loved it. Nathan, Rebekah, and I just played in the kid pool to the side and enjoyed the week of swimming too. These are the accomplishments after the lessons.

Rachel - can swim from one side to the other, she can go under water and pick objects from the bottom, and she loves it

Katie - she can swim from one side to the other, float, jump off the diving board and swim to the other side without a life jacket, can pick objects off the bottom, and she loves it

Sarah - will dip her head into the water and blow bubbles, she'll kick her feet and float with help, and she loves it

My hope was that they wouldn't be afraid of water. Katie is the fish, but the other two love it just as much, and I'm sure they will all eventually be able swim. I like taking them to the pool, but David doesn't really enjoy swimming (which I learned his brother doesn't like it either, so it must be a genetic quirk), so making the kids independent in the pool is the goal.
