Water Babies

029It’s that time of year again…..time for swim lessons!  Few things in life make me as happy as swimming in water!  I LOVE IT!  I really hope my boys will learn to love it as much as I do too!  Year after year we were taking swim lessons from the local rec center and it was pretty lame.  My kids didn’t advance as quickly as I had hoped; basically lessons were fro 9 days M-F, for half an hour.  Ridiculous if you ask me….how are they supposed to learn som020ething in a class of at least a dozen when the are in the water for only half an hour!?  I was very grateful to have been told about Jan Lamb’s Swim School out here.  It’s been great!  They teach one hour lessons for 4 days at a time and I’ve seen much faster progression for my boys!  They hold the actual classes in an amazing yard nearby…..talk about my dream yard!  It’s absolutely beautiful!  Scott probably made the least progress this time around; so074mething I attribute to his sensory issues.  BUT, still…..he did make progress!  They are signed up for a second round of lessons in a couple more weeks and I think we will be getting Scott at least one private lesson between now and then.  Hopefully 2.  We will see what the pocketbook can afford Smile.  Jared has become an great swimmer and they have suggested that he could handle swim team now.  Gavin is catching up quickly.  He just figured out diving this time around, and is pretty proud of it too!

When I was a kid, I practically lived in t038he water.  My mom would call me a little fish.  We had a swimming pool in our backyard and as a teenager, there was nothing I loved more than swimming by myself and just relaxing in the water.  I love feeling the water drip off my skin…..it so rejuvenating!  I told Michael that the house we die in, I really want to put a pool in.  It would be so much fun!

Oh, I 062almost forgot.   One of the coolest parts of this yard is the awesome tree house they have for siblings to play on while the kids are in their lessons.  I had to take a quick shot of it….love this yard.  Have I mentioned that I love this yard?
