Swimming Sensations!


Our kids are crazy about swimming lessons. It's the highlight of their day and I feel bad that this is the first year we've really participated. (I can't count the the mother/baby class I took with Camen years ago.) Savannah especially struggles with trying to be patient for the four long hours between the time she wakes up and the time lessons start at the pool.

Camen, Naomi and Savannah are all in different classes that meet at the same time. I sit with Mason and try to make sure they don't drown in all the commotion. (Thankfully there was only one close call.) It's really nice to sit and act as honorary lifeguard while nice teachers work with them. I'm confident that their good teachers persuaded my kids to do things that I would not have been able to do. Camen jumped off the diving board, Naomi jumped off the racing platform and Savannah cautiously reached out to her teacher from the edge of the pool! They are all pretty timid and it took the firm persistence of kind teachers to make all the progress they did.
