We had swim lessons for the past two weeks. Our local pool does a great job with these and the kids enjoy them a lot. Timmy passed level 1 last year but was barely putting his head under at the end of lessons. He had the same teacher this year and she was shocked how much more comfortable he was.
Of course he loved going off the diving board and he got quite good at not needing any lifeguard help with that.
He ended up passing Level 2!
This little monkey had to hang out with me during lessons. Some days I kept him contained in the stroller and other days I kept him in the fence in baby pool area. Nothing is easy with a toddler, but all in all he did well!
Lucy is/was as scared of water as Timmy...she was doing her second year in Level 1. By the end of week 1 she still didn't want to put her face under water. My good friend Jan practiced with her and was able to get her that over that fear. And by the end of week 2 she was doing this!
She still didn't want to do the diving board but I am proud of her for going under and learning to swim.
