Swim Lesson Highs

Excitement levels for the girls were at an all-time high in May thanks to one thing: swim lessons. I'm not sure why getting in a pool is so thrilling for kids, but it is! We did four weeks of swim lessons, and both of their weeks revolved around how soon they could get back to the pool.

I felt bad because Addie's lessons were her first-ever. Guess that is the problem with being a second child? She was one of the older kids in her class and learned how to kick on the kick board, jump off the side of the pool and get splashed in the face. After every lesson ended, she demanded, "more!".

Collins took semi-private lessons with Reeves, and it's amazing how much progress they each made. I'm not sure if it's because they had a great teacher or because they had peer pressure to push them along. They both learned to dive to the bottom of the pool to get a swim toy, how to swim from the middle of the pool to the side, and how to flip over in the water. 

Collins is almost there! She is really close to swimming. We're going to have a few more lessons, and then have lots of practice in the pool this summer. Both girls were pretty bummed to see the May swim lessons come and go!
