We have been taking private swimming lessons this year and what a huge difference it has made with the boys. They were great from the first, granted we have our spats of not cooperating well, but they have learned so much. Jaxon last summer would not let go of you even in his lifejacket, which was so awkward. He finally got over that at the end of the summer and has been a great swimmer ever since. He has learned a lot. He is practicing using his arms in the front stroke and is great at the backstroke. He loves to dive down to the bottom and get rockets off the bottom of the pool. His floating has improved he still gets nervous when she lets go but he can float all alone if he holds still. Today he even swam out and flipped onto his back and floated all by himself!
Jake is a little daredevil and will do whateve his brother does. His feet never stop kicking and he is always good to listen to his teacher. He talks about swimming lessons and his teacher in the tub and teaches the duck and bear how to float and kick. So cute. He is a good floater and he is just learning to use his arms, its such a hard movement to get down and kick at the same time. She teaches them to grab the side of the pool and hold on too. She will turn him with his back facing the wall, like he just fell in and then he turns towards the wall and pulls up. Such a smart thing to teach them. We have one more week and hopefully they will keep doing all these move with Jeff and I.
How many times do we have to count to three?
Great swimmer!
