I enrolled Skyler in swimming lessons this summer. I have never liked to swim. I took lessons one summer when I was 12, and because it was my first class, I was with 6 and 7 year-olds. All I remember is that I couldn't do the kickboard thing, and all the other kids (even the 6 and 7 year-olds) could. We would take off from one side of the pool, and by the time I put my head up for a breath, everyone else would already be across. Granted, I was probably not much taller than the other kids, but you'd think a 12 year-old could kick harder. Well, Skyler loved his first session of Level 2. It involved a lot of pool noodles and very little actual swimming. They recommended him for Level 3, so I thought I would enroll him for another session. This time, he was expected to use the kickboards, dive to the bottom of the pool, dive off the edge, and swim under water.Much more swimming and much less floating. Let's just say he didn't enjoy the second session as much as the first. :)
Go Skyler, go!
Anya was sad that she never got to go swimming during the 4 weeks of lessons. Next year Anya!
