Swimming Lessons


Summer is just about over and today was the last day of swimming lessons. Talan loves to take swimming lessons, it is one of the highlights of summer.
When Talan and Addy took swimming lessons last year we told them if they worked hard and passed level 1 we would get them a trophy. They both were able to past level 1 so they got trophies last year. Now every time we go to the pool we have to stop and look at the trophies and the kids try and pick out which one they want when they pass level 2.

Talan can do the dead mans float really well.

The kids love to kick around the pool using these dumb bells.

They also are working on diving. Diving is something I hated to do when I was little.
Since it was the last day of swimming lessons the kids got to jump off the spring boards.

Talan was not so sure about jumping off. Finally the teacher had to grab his hand and pull him in. Maybe by next year he will be ready to jump off by himself. Talan has made so much progress this year. I think it is so important for kids to know how to swim and it makes me fell better to know that Talan is learning.
