Swimming Lessons

This Summer, I was able to sign the kids up for two weeks of swimming lessons. I had the kids repeat the level they left off with last year for a refresher course this summer and then the following week they both moved up a level. I have seen a huge improvement this summer in my kids swimming abilities and it is so fun to watch. 

 Kaleb is a little behind for his age group but I blame that on me not getting him into lessons right away but for being a little delayed he is doing really well and is becoming more comfortable in the water. I think he takes after me. I hate water in my face and going under the water. However, He has improved by leaps and bounds. He is doing well with his stream line and is actually diving for objects under the water. He also can streamline and then rotate from his tummy to his back and from his back to his tummy. Kaleb is doing awesome!!

Karmindy is also doing amazing. She tends to not be as timid as Kaleb is in the water, so she has really progressed a ton. In fact, she is almost caught up to Kaleb Level wise. Nevertheless, I am proud of both of them and what they have been able to accomplish this summer. I am hoping to be able to get them into some private lessons in October and just reinforce what they have been learning. With the progress they are making, they may be ready for the kids swim team in a few years and take after their Dad and swim competitively!

Good Job Karmindy and Kaleb! We are so Proud of you Both!

One Fish, Two Fish: Swimming Lessons!

The Summer went by quickly for us this year. It makes me a little sad because since we are on Year Round School, it doesn't feel like my kids get much of a Summer, however, we really try to make it count!! This Summer I was able to enroll the kids in Swimming Lessons for two weeks. I felt lucky to even be able to get them in for two session because it was extremely hard to find any available at our nearest Rec Center. I ended up taking the Kids to the Outdoor South County pool and it worked well for us. Kaleb had taken there before and I loved it several years ago but went with the Rec Center last year because it was the closest to our home. 

The kids did awesome during their two weeks of lessons, and It was so fun to see them get more brave and progress as the weeks were over. After seeing how much they improved this year with taking two weeks of lessons, I will for sure being doing this next year and may even put them in off track lessons. I took many a pictures of my little fish swimming this summer but I included my favorites!
