Swim Lessons

As I mentioned in a previous post, for the last 2 weeks the boys have been taking swim lessons. They finished up on Friday so I snapped a few pics of their time at the pool and I thought I would share a few.....

Here is Hailey testing out the water, or should I say her new "swing"....probably too dangerous for a 2 yr. old's slippery little hands don't ya think??


This is what I got when I told her to put her head under water....


Not exactly what I was meaning.....


Finally living life on the wild side and starting to enjoy the water....


However this is how she spent most of her time at the pool....

And now on to the actual lessons.......

Here is Jarred fighting a kick board through the water.


Jarred floating on his back. This was one of his favorite drills.


This is Jarred's least favorite drill....Jumping in to the deep end. I can't tell you how many times that poor instructor counted to 3 without even so much of a twitch from Jarred. Check out his cold little class mates in the background. That didn't even phase his fear...Sigh


So after MUCH persuasion he would jump in and spend the rest of free time right here....

Now for Jake....


Having some one-on-one time with the instructor..


Jake applying what he learned.


HEAD DOWN JAKE!! He finally started to get the hang of diving. Thank Goodness..I don't think this mommy could have handled too many more belly-flops. It stared to even make my tummy hurt!!


The end is here!!

In case you couldn't tell apparently we are serious about our swimming here, I mean GOGGLES are a must...lol.

I think they had fun and even though at times I questioned how much they were REALLY learning, they both came away with something new. I mean what more could I ask for..At least I didn't have to pay to watch some 16 yr girl flirt with a 17 yr. boy like I have in the previous years..LOL But in our little town beggars can't be choosers!!
