Swimming Lessons for Zane and Lucy

Another session of swimming is finished for the kiddos. This time around we went in the afternoon (which was actually pretty nice) and only Zane and Lucy could attend.


Andrew was a little bummed that he wasn't enrolled in lessons but since he is still doing soccer midweek practices I thought it was fair to let Zane and Lucy do a midweek activity as well. Plus, like I have said before, I don't really see swimming as an optional activity.

Lucy was in Preschool 1 and had a teacher named Arten. He was great and Lucy had him slightly wrapped around her finger. She is absolutely fearless. Almost to the point where I wish she was a tad more cautious. By the end of the session Arten had passed her on to Preschool 2! Yeah Lucy!

Zane was enrolled in his first session of Beginner 1. Although he has done lessons before the skills learned and required to pass are different at the preschool and beginner levels. It was a good call because Zane has to continue in Beginner 1 but I think within another session or two he will pass up to the next class.

Gwen was pretty much a trooper the whole time during lessons. She is a bit bummed that she can't go in the water but next fall when she is 3 she will be good to go! This year of being 2 is always rough for the kiddos watching and waiting for their turn.

Reid has been, well, a baby. Today he napped but normally he was content to just sit and be mellow with me. Such a sweet little love he is. Ideally I will sign the big 3 up for lesson starting in November at night. Andrew will be done with soccer and it will be nice to have him get a little more practice in with his swimming.
