Last Day of Swim Lessons

Yesterday was our last day of swimming lessons for the summer! The kids and I took two sessions at North Ogden's Pool and we had so much fun. It helped me to keep cool in 100+ heat and I even got a tan! Ethan past both of his courses, to our delight, because when I first signed up for classes the manager of the Pool said it was really hard for a lot of kids to pass the "pre-level two" class so we should plan on Ethan taking that class at least twice. He did great and passed the first time around so he will be ready for "the big kids"class, as Ethan calls it, next year.
Ethan just jumps in the water and can swim under the water for a couple of feet, blowing bubbles and his eyes open. By the end of class his eyes are so red! But he can't wait to to get back in the water.

Holly and I took the Parent Child class twice because she had a hard time trusting me not to dunk her the first time around and the fact that she was too young to move on to any other classes. Besides there was no way I was not going to be in the water while Ethan took his second class. It is just too hot!!

By the end of our second time around Holly was letting me hold her with just my hand on her back and floating. She was also confident enough to walk out into water up to her chin, with me close at hand of course.

Next year Holly will be ready to take the "pre-level one" class on her own, Ethan can move on the "Level 2" or starfish I think it's called and then I can take the Parent-Child class with our new little one.

Anyway it is nice to be done for now and have a little time to get ready for our new little boy. I hope time goes fast because I am ready!
