Swimming Lessons
Brett, Alex, and Lucas have been in swimming lessons for the last 2 weeks. Brett and Alex made great progress; Lucas mostly walked around the pool. Here is a picture of him with "my Audrey." She was a very patient teacher:
"Lucas, can you blow bubbles?"
"Look--it's water!"
"Hey buddy, blow some bubbles."
"It's water!"
And on and on for 30 minutes. She usually got him to blow bubbles and get his ears wet...but that was about it. By the end of the 2 weeks, Lucas would get in the big pool and float around, but he never let go of "my Audrey."
Here, Alex is doing the back float with help from a noodle. He got to be a good enough swimmer that he will jump off the diving board into the 10-foot water and swim to the side all by himself.
I didn't get a picture of Brett, but he has learned how to dive nicely. He'll dive off the diving board now. He also does a mean cannonball.
