Swimming 101

With summer here, that means lots of swimming for us. So what better way to start the summer than swimming lessons? in past years, we attended a local swim class but I wasn't really keen on the idea of going back. That being said, I was super excited when we were able to line up some small at home classes at Brandon's cousins house.

Before we started lessons last week, Braley was making her way around the pool and would jump off the diving board with a body board or small float.

Now we are floating on our back and starting to learn the back stroke...... but first we have to master the front stroke.


Swimming with our face in the water and coming up to take a breath. (Today she swam across the pool. )

And........... (drum roll please)

Jumping off the diving board

and swimming to the side.

I am so proud of Braley and her persistence to learn what Mrs. Brooke has taught her. I defiantly hope Mrs. Brooke will come back and visit us next year, and I bet these guys do to.......

Christopher and Wyatt figuring out the snorkel.

Sweet little Chevy, who's went from crying to jumping right in.

Thinking Waylon had rather train for the "Tour de France" than swim.
