Swimming Lessons

We signed the boys up for swimming lessons again this year. Well again for Jack, first time for Ben. Jack loved them last year and did again this year. Ben loves taking a bath, and that only carried over to swimming lessons thank goodness!! They were both in the parent and me class. The company we take lessons through offers private, semi-private and quad classes. We did the quad class (with 2 other kids). Yes, we were half of the class.
Because of the fact that Jon and I both had to be in the pool I did not get any pictures. I did not really want my camera ruined. We took class every Saturday morning which was great, especially on the really hot days. The last week we were supposed to have class Coach Jane called and had to cancel because her car would not start. Jack was very worried about this. For the entire week he kept asking about Coach Jane's car. Finally, the next Saturday when we went for the last lesson he was like, "Is Coach Jane's car still broken?" When he finally saw her he was like, "Coach Jane's car not broken any more!" It was pretty funny.
The last lesson we were the only ones that ended up coming. This ended up working out great. She let Jack wear the vests that they wear in the next level and he was basically jumping off the side and swimming by himself with the vest. Ben tried the vest, but couldn't quite get his balance. He loves the water though. He spends every bath blowing bubbles (really gross in the bathtub). Hopefully they will keep up the good work!!
