Swimming lessons






This year we decided that it was time for Griff to take swimming lessons. I found an instructor in the area that came highly recommended. When I spoke to her on the phone she said that with her 2 year olds she does a "Mommy and me" class. She said that at that age they are much more comfortable in the water with a parent. The lessons were 30 minutes a day for 5 days. I guess "Daddy and me" would be a more appropriate title because Kenton went in every day with Griff. Griff was not afraid at all and had a ball. He was so excited the entire time in the water and kept his mouth open. This actually caused a few problems with him swallowing water when he went under and made him throw up. Aside from this minor "glitch' the lessons were a success. He went in every day with no tears, went under the water, jumped off the side, kicked, floated on his back and stomach, and started to learn his strokes. His daddy and I are both so proud of our little fishie!
