Like last year, we took some swim lessons from Coach Laura to get geared up for summer. This year we did 10 full days! Monday through Friday of two weeks every day. That’s a lot of swimming – and a lot of getting 3 kids suited up and over to the pool every day!  🙂 We made it though and the kids honestly LOVED it and showed fantastic progress.

I’m going to link to a few videos in this post. You’ll have to click over to Flickr to see them.

First day in a little bit of rain. Not the best – or warmest! – of conditions but we made it.

Spencer thought everyone did good!  🙂

Over the next week, everyone kept doing good! They improved every day!

Baby still wasn’t so sure about it all and cried whenever she had to get in the pool for the first 4 lessons.

But, that all changed on Friday of the first week! She decided it was pretty fun and did great. She would stick her own head under water and really started kicking those chubby little legs by the second week!

Also, please watch this video of her walking into swim lessons. She’s so cute I could just die.

Maxwell is a great swimmer and was practicing different strokes and swimming from one end of the pool to the other. He also spent plenty of time in the pool practicing his flips and other tricks!

Spencer was working on taking a breath without stopping and keeping his feet kicking. He also practiced what to do if he gets “stuck” in the middle of the pool. Answer? put your head down and start kicking! We still need to work on it but he’s getting there.

I was so proud of all 3 of them! and I sure loved watching how much fun they all had in the pool together!

Here’s to a summer of swimming!
