Swim Lessons

The kids just wrapped up two weeks of swim lessons. Daphne's class was very introductory and mostly worked on getting the kids used to the water. Tyler's class was a lot more intense and he had to work on floating on his back, gliding off the wall, swimming freestyle, swimming back stroke, and treading water. Tyler had been dreading lessons but after the first one he got really into it. Every night he wanted to practice his skills while Daphne was in her class, which was right before Tyler's class. Tyler still has a long way to go but he improved greatly between the first lesson and the last lesson. He is really comfortable keeping his face in the water now and is good at kicking. He mostly needs to work on his floating skills.

While Tyler was in class Daphne would
either play in the kiddie pool or jump
repeatedly to either Michael or me from the
side of the pool with no fear whatsoever.
