Swimming Lessons

We signed up for swimming lessons again this summer. Genevieve only needed a refresher course and after the first day the instructor said she didn't even need to come back. But of course that wasn't going to fly with Genevieve so we stuck with it for the week and Ms. Jennifer worked on strokes with her instead. Genevieve absolutely loves swimming lessons! She's a little fish in the water! This was Anson's first lesson. Last summer he watched from the sidelines. And he felt quite differently about the lessons than his big sister. He screamed and cried the whole time. For the first two lessons I got in the water with him and after that it's just him and Ms. Jennifer. The lessons are Monday through Thursday for about ten to fifteen minutes and last from three to six weeks, depending on the child. This class is a survival class, intended to teach the child to float on his back if they were ever to fall in the water. It has been amazing with Genevieve and given her so much confidence in the water! Even though Anson isn't a fan, I know it's worth it! And it's already gotten better; he isn't screaming anymore, just crying, ha ha! Seriously, he's already floating and learning to turn over. So my little man has almost got it and Ms. Jennifer says that after this upcoming week he'll be done.
