The kids finished taking swimming lessons last week. They all passed their levels and will be moving on to the next ones. Carson is like a fish out of water last year when he started taking lessons he was all over the place and he is not afraid of the water in the least bit. This year he learned how to do the front crawl, he still needs a little work on putting his head in and breathing at the same time as he moves his arms, but I am sure he will catch on soon. Sierra has also learned the front crawl and is great in the water too. On the first or second day of lessons I had been watching and then when I went back downstairs to wait for them to get out of the pool I was looking for Sierra and low and behold she was on the diving board ready to jump off!!! YIKES what are they having my kid do, I thought. Needless to say the teacher was in the water just in case anything went wrong but Sierra was just fine and is now a diving board jumper. I guess it was a good thing she took lessons mom probably never would have been ready for her to jump off the diving board but obviously she was capable. Briana did pass her class too at first we had our doubts since she didn't like the teacher and just wanted to basically sit in the water. However, when she figured out that she was not getting out of going she decided to make the best of it and have fun. She is now dunking her self under the water all the time and thinks it is so fun. She now spends more time with her head under the water than out of the water. I think swimming lessons are great at least they have been for my kids it makes me a more relaxed mom in the pool since I know they are more skilled at swimming.
