Swimming Lessons: Round 2

Once again our second wave of swim lessons rolled around and true to form…..just like last year, we forgot when it started and missed our first day!  Not cool, when there’s only 4 days!  OOPS!  Seems like when this late in the Summer, it’s easy to forget ! 

So, Jared took another round of “Strokes” class where they basically polish their swimming skills, Gavin started his first round of “Pirahanas” which is their top swimming class, that the kids learn the last of their strokes in, and Scoots advanced to “Stingrays,” their intermediate class.  Each of them have made some progress this year!  Jared actually won 3 out of 4 races!  I was very proud of him!  Because it’s an Olympic year, their teacher awarded “medals” to the kids when they competed in a relay.  Jared’s took the Copper.  He was pretty proud!  Gavin was so good in his class, that the instructor said he is ready for the “Strokes” class like Jared!  That made this Mom pretty proud!  Scott has struggled with his sensory issues when it comes to swim.  He pretty much refuses to float on his back and jump in the pool and by the end of this round, they had him jumping into the pool unassisted!  I was happy with that progress!  SO proud of all my boys!  Next year we will have to start Mason with a Mom & Me class!

 

Jared took diving classes last year, but it appears he is a bit rusty.  I think we will have to try that one again next Summer!  Looks like he and Gavin will be in classes together next round!
