Friday was the last day of swim lessons, and the parents are invited to come watch to see what all the kids can do. They teach them beginning swimming technique, but also skills to help them keep safe in the water.
Lined up on the steps and ready to go!
C's turn to jump in, tread water, float, swim through the hula hoop, and kick back to the steps.
H's turn, he did all of the same, but also swam to the bottom of the pool to pick up a pool toy.
Getting their certificates and ring pops. I'm proud of the boys, and proud that they are not scared or nervous, but just love to swim!
We went swimming together that afternoon. H could swim totally without a floatie of any sort, and C could for short distances, but I did put a floatie on C after he started getting tired.
H would jump in the pool and pop right back up out of the water, C would jump in and sink down.
H could barely kick and would propel himself easily from one side to the other, C would kick furiously and maybe move an inch. I'm not quite sure how these differences are, but I'm chuckling about it!
The boys have been asking to have a sleepover for awhile now. They already share a room, but wanted to try in the same bed. The cute giggles coming from their room as they shared "secrets" were cute, but they only made it about five minutes before it was evident that it just wasn't going to work, and H was asking to get back in his "comfy bed."
