The kids LOVED swimming lessons!!!! (Well, until the last few days when Drew was recovering from a terrible sunburn -- I'm so sad that I let them get burned on July 4.) Regardless, they made great progress this year as you can see from the videos in the previous post. (Of course, I had to include a few still shots as well.) I was delighted that two other families from our church also had their kids in lessons at the same time so I had friends to chat with. By the end of the two weeks Anika was doing a version of the front crawl without flippers and loved jumping in the pool. Andrew still preferred the flippers but was able to get around without them and he LOVED jumping in - over and over and even off the starting blocks.
Chatting at the lane marker! Anika and Andrew were in separate classes but they had to keep touching base. (It was that lane marker that Andrew caught on his sunburned shoulder which caused a blister - and MUCH additional pain.)
Getting ready to go with Alex!

All by herself!

Kathryn did surprisingly well. No unexpected dips in the pool!

Yay! I think maybe we should be proudest of little K. I think it's tricky for little helpers to be patient at the pool! :)
We're doing our lessons in a few weeks. Say a little prayer that we'll be as brave as you guys! :)
