Summer Swim Lessons

The first two weeks of summer, we had the kids take private swim lessons from a girl in our neighborhood named Maddy, who works at the YMCA. It was the best investment by far. Alli is so comfortable in the water now and loves swimming!! She's really good at it too. I can see that she has really matured over the last year and really listens well to those who teach her. After the lessons were over, Cole needed another couple of times with me in the water at our community pool to reinforce what he had been taught and he's really getting it now. He can jump in and swim a really long distance in one breath, but when he has to come up for a breath, he loses his form and starts struggling. I think a few more times in the water together will help him get it. A heated pool, with one on one lessons in a private backyard is the only way to go! Thanks Maddy!
