Swimming lessons



On Tuesday Blake and Rylee started their first swim lesson ever! I put Rylee in level 2 and Blake in level 3. They told me to put them in the class where the description best described their ability. Blake is in the class with 4 other kids, all of them at least 3 years older than him. I also overheard two of the mom's talking on the first day and they were saying how all of their kids have been in swimming lessons since they were babies. So then I got worried thinking I put him in the wrong class and that they would be waaaaay more advanced them him. However Blake is a STUD and is the best one in his class. Especially for being his age and it being his first time. He swims across the pool, has learned how to back float, has learned how to dive (and can do it off of the diving board, with great form). Rylee is doing great too. However, her lessons are more like bobbing up and down and kicking her feet.

First time jumping off the board he was a little nervous, but he has done awesome every time and dives great too!


These pics were from the very first day and I will take more the last day. It's fun watching them learn new things and excel in what they are doing. we have some pretty awesome kids!
