Swim Lessons

All that beach and pool time was an excellent prep for swim lessons. It was a class of five with one teacher and one helper at a nearby community center.

This was a gift from my parents for Liam and Dash's birthday so we've been talking about this for months. Anticipation was sky high!

They had class Monday through Thursday for two weeks. That made things sink in really well but it also kind of wiped out most mornings for doing anything else. The lessons exactly coincided with my parents' visit, so usually one of them watched Grey while I took the twins. That made things VERY easy.

Dash and Liam's confidence in the water (already pretty good) grew tremendously. They never really liked floating on their backs but now it's a piece of cake.

And dude, they just rocked the put-face-in-water concept. They can hold their breath for over twenty seconds! All their bathtime practice paid off.

Liam and Dash were able to pass off the level. I wonder at what point in this program they start learning strokes...
