Swimming!

It has been so hot here this last week that we have taken full advantage of our friends with swimming pools.  Both Emma and Vivian love the water.  For the past month both of them have been taking swim lessons.  I was able to take advantage of this program for children under 5 where they are able to get a 2 week swim session for 5 dollars.  TOTAL!!  They also had a mommy and me class for younger kids so Emma, Vivian, and I signed up for a whole month.  It has been fun and Emma has really improved.  She is not ready to swim in the Olympics, but she has become more comfortable in the water and is doing so much better at kicking her legs and blowing bubbles.  Vivian loves the feel of the water and splashing around.  Hopefully she'll continue to love swimming once she gets older and begins to recognize fear.  Well here are some pictures and a video for your viewing pleasure.


Luckily Emma's little friend Corbin, from preschool, was particpating as well and his mom Sandy was always so willing to help me out with Vivian.

That is an awesome deal! We tried lessons with Drew when he was 6 and he was TERRIFIED! I like the idea of starting them earlier before the 'fear' sets in like you said. FUN!

Wow - that is a good deal!! I love swim lessons just for the fact that besides helping them with a good skill it just adds a little variety to the day. :)
