Swim Lessons

Both kids started swim lessons at the end of  January.  We decided to stick with Emler again for Em and signed Evan up there too.  Em is in the super beginners class and is doing awesome.  She has been the only kid in her class so far and is getting private lessons.  I'm sure more kids will eventually join, but right now it's nice that she gets so much one on one time.  I can't believe how well she's doing.  I think she finally has the confidence she needs to know that she can swim.  No more puddle jumper for her this summer!

Evan is in the aquatots class.  Although he's only 2, they allowed me to put him in the 3 year old class that has no swim skills.  The 2 year old beginner classes all require a parent in the water and I really wasn't up for that.  :)  Shawn takes him Saturday mornings while I take Em to gymnastics.  The first class he was pretty shy.  He would warm up and want to swim and then another minute he would hang his head down and walk to Shawn and say he wanted Mommy.  I took him to his third class and he didn't whine form Mommy or Daddy at all.  He doesn't really like going underwater, but there were no tears, so I'd say that's a win!  His favorite part is going down the big yellow slide at the end of class.
