The past couple of weeks we have kept very busy with our everyday activities plus swimming lessons for Lucas. I couldn't decide whether to put him in classes at a local pool near our house or private lessons. Even though he did not receive constant 1 on 1 with the teacher I was so pleased with our decision to keep doing group lessons at Alta Canyon Rec Center. By the second day of lessons he was putting his face in the water and actually swimming!! I was so thrilled especially since before the lessons he did not like any part of his head to get wet (which is sort of difficult while swimming).
The last day of his swimming lessons the kids had the choice of jumping off the diving boards and Lucas was right on board. He walked out to the end of the board by himself and jumped to his teacher who was waiting in the the water below. Unfortunately the shot above was the last picture I got before the battery in my camera died. What a bummer - but I will never forget how brave he was.
Many of the days after Lucas was done with his lessons we ended up just sticking around and hanging out at the pool for a couple of hours. Two of those days we were joined by our Gracie girl and her older brother Colton. Lucas and Gracie loved playing with Colton at the pool and he was so cute with them as well as with Landon.
The hardest part of swimming lessons was keeping Landon out of the pool for those 45 minutes. At least next year this will not be a problem because he too will be taking lessons. :)
