Swim Lessons

Another summer of swim lessons gone by the wayside...and we have something to show for it! The kids have been taking lessons at a private pool and have done great! They have one more session tomorrow and they'll be done. One of the biggest tricks or secrets they both learned this year is that if you hum while you are under water, you automatically blow the air out your nose and make bubbles, preventing water from going up your nose! Wow - what a deal. It's helped them both tremendously!

Emily mastering her backfloat......

...and working on backstroke kicks.

Ms. Linda shows Emily how to get a push-off from the side to help get going fast!


Chase is ready to go - quite a change from last year when he cried all the way through his lessons!

He always comes out of the water with a smile!

Chase has come so far getting his arms out of the water and you can tell he's really doing a front crawl!

Look at that backfloat - perfect relaxation!


We take every opportunity we get to go to the pool and enjoy - and even more so now so we can keep practicing all the things we have learned!
