Lewis has been in swimming lessons now for 6 months and he is doing fantastic! He can float on his back with his legs straight (finally!) and can almost flip himself from front to back to float without assistance. The goal of these classes are to get him to flip over to his back, float and breath, and flip back over to swim, REPEAT, until he reaches the side and can either pull himself out or go along the edge hand over hand to the nearest steps. These are the lifesaving kind of swimming lessons so if your child falls into the pool or lake or whatever he won't sink like a stone! We are so glad we are doing this because Lewis absolutely has no fear of the water and loves to jump in and swim whenever he sees a pool. As you can see by these pictures he really hates to have his face underwater. Isn't he just the cutest? He is totally waving at his teacher while she takes his picture underwater. I bet he is saying 'cheeeeese' for the picture. What a sweetheart!
so cute! I love it!
ReplyDeleteLOL! That picture made my morning!
ReplyDeleteWOW he is so brave. I hope that they can do something like this for naomi. Are you coming this summer so your kids can swim?
ReplyDeleteSo cute! That is so smart to have him take that class. Now you can know that he will survive all the pools in the valley. This summer will be tons of fun with him learning more everyday.
ReplyDeleteCute pics! I need to get Carson into something like this soon, having a pool scares me to death.
ReplyDeleteAlso, what type of camera did you use for the underwater shots?
