Swim lessons

Well the first round of swim lessons is over and everyone made progress. Both kids had private lessons with a friend who has at the same level. Grant is infinitely safer in the water than he was before. He started putting his face in the water while kicking around, and using very rudimentary dog paddle. He went down the water slide 2 times yesterday, and jumped off the diving board 3 times.

Emma is working on real freestyle instead of dog paddle, and jumping off the side in the deep end. She learned elementary back stroke and water rescue. And she swam across most of the short deep end! She chose not to ride down the water slide or jump off the diving board, which was no surprise.

They are signed up to start their second session on Monday, Emma in private lessons with the same friend, and Grant in the Otters group lesson (which only has one other kid enrolled right now).
