The kids just finished swimming lessons last night. Rebecca is now able to jump off the diving board & swim to safety!! We're so grateful. It's awesome to watch her gain confidence and to see it all "click" as she has learned to coordinate her arms & legs.
Sarah seemed completely confident in herself and trusting in her teacher, Miss Jamie. She was grateful to have the swim goggles. Her freestyle form still needs some work, but she'll get it. Yesterday she'd swim with her arms up with only her hands moving. It looked like she was surrendering underwater! But her teacher worked with her more and she improved.
Wyatt just loved being in the water. The goggles didn't fit over his glasses, but he didn't seem to mind getting his eyes wet. He just kept the glasses on. At the end of each lesson, the kids were allowed to get a swim toy (floaties, tube, noodle, etc). Wyatt always chose a big water gun and sat on the steps to play with it. All the other kids would swim, but he was completely taken with this huge gun. Brandon promised we'd go find one to play with at home.
We'll do lessons again next year and look forward to watching Sarah and Wyatt become indepent swimmers. The girls earned swim passes to Roaring Springs this last year in school so Brandon will take an afternoon off this month and we'll go as a family.
