The boys did a week of swim lessons this week. It started out a little rocky, but by the end of the week they were much more comfortable with the water and getting braver. Their teacher was amazing. She was so patient with them and a really great teacher. They went from afraid to get their face wet at all, to going under the water to retrieve a ring from the bottom of the pool! Amazing! She also worked with them on arm strokes, kicking, floating, holding their breath under the water, etc. I'm so glad that we started them this year to make them more comfortable and then hopefully next summer we can start early and get some of the skills mastered!
