Swim Lessons

The kids spent the last two weeks in swim lessons.  They loved it!

 Lexie learning to back float.

 Lucas learning the front crawl.

 When it wasn't his turn he loved bobbing under the water.  He learned he could sink to the bottom by blowing bubbles out.

 His class focused a lot on the swim strokes including the back crawl.

 Jumping in - one of his favorite things to do!

 Listening to the teacher explain a new move.

 Lexie jumping in.  Last year she didn't want to put her head under water but she had no problem with it this year!

 Practicing the back crawl.

 Playing Mr. Shark - one of her favorite games.

 Little stinker, it's hard to get a smile these days!

 Jumping in.

 Working on her back glide.

 Lucas learned to dive this year which he loved.

 Jumping off the diving board.

 After a few days Lexie started doing the back glide by herself.

 She had great teachers and she really loved going to lessons each day.

 Lucas had to tread water for one minute to pass his class.

 Lexie was hesitant to jump off the diving board but she did it 3 times!

 The last day was fun day and they got to go down the slides.  It was cold and rainy but it didn't bother them a bit!

 Lexie isn't tall enough to ride the slides during normal pool hours so this was a real treat for her!

 Practicing his dolphin kick after coming down from the slide.

They both had a great time and both passed onto the next level.
